This is a large Buddhist site that includes a temple, a monastery and a very old cemetery. There seems to be much activity at this place and they are also renovating or adding on to the complex. While we visited there we had a chance to talk with one of the ladies who was preparing and serving lunch for some of the monks there. We also observed a family who was there grieving and conducting a funeral service for a family member who had died. There is a dormitory for the monks who are studying at the monastery. As we watched the young monks preparing to eat their lunch they prayed and chanted. Because there is also a cemetery here there seemed to be a greater emphasis on those who were coming to offer incense or pray to the spirits of the dead.
I really felt the pain of not just the family there for the funeral but the monks and others visiting. They seemed so dedicated to everything there and yet still so much in pain or without hope. God how can they go on? What will it take for them to turn to You?
As I walked through the temple, I prayed in Jesus’ name for the young monks there learning, for the family, for the people walking about and those fixing and serving the lunch. I walked through the temple and prayed every name of Jesus that I could remember, calling on His Grace and Salvation to touch this place.

I pray that God will push back the darkness from this area. May the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ shine here, and may the Holy Spirit be free to work in the hearts of the monks and those who serve or visit here. I pray that God defeat principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness in and around this place and that those who worship, serve, and work here and in this neighborhood will be blessed with the knowledge of Jesus. Please prepare their hearts to hear so that they will respond in faith, believe, be saved, and be discipled. Please raise up new evangelizing, truth teaching, reproducing churches in this area.
