A Vegetarian Dinner and Spiritual Conversation in China

After a great visit to the Temple of Heaven I was invited to a wonderful Vegetarian Dinner, proceeded by a couple of hours drinking various blends of Chinese tea. The very best vegetarian food I have ever eaten, except for my beloved wife vegetarian cooking, which is the best! One unique dish followed by another and another and another!

The Restaurant was exquisitely decorated with beautiful harp music highlighting your dinner. The entire time our discussion were focused on the spiritual dimensions of life, especially from Buddhist and Indigenous perspectives. The Western propaganda machine presents such a misconception of many dimensions of China and Chinese peoples. This is my experience of many years of traveling to China.

Thank you Ms. Wong and Tonska Dan Young, who is taking the pictures, for a wonderful dinner and evening! I enjoyed every moment of the whole experience!
