The three ancient Buddhas are still carefully wrapped in precious khartas, yellow satin, and protective bubble wrap as they wait to be installed here in the Buddha Hall. The painters came today to discuss how the gold leaf ceiling and mahogany colored beams will be painted. The walls in this part of the hall will be deep red while the adjoining smaller rooms will be a light gold.
