Ji Gong (济公), seen standing here behind the Vairocana Buddha
(毗卢遮那佛). He managed to get kicked out of Lingyin Temple
(灵隐寺) and ended up spending time here at Jingci Temple
(净慈寺) in Hangzhou, Zhejiang (浙江, 杭州市).

August 18, 2009 - When I left the beautiful Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, I did a little bit of browsing in the shopping street outside the gate before hopping into a taxi for the short ride to Jingci Temple ("Temple of Pure Compassion").
