Tucked away in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, amidst the crazy traffic and city hubbub, is a bastion of tranquility, a peaceful Chinese temple called Dharma Realm Buddhist Temple, http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g298570-d1798598-Reviews-Dharma_Realm_Guan_Yin_Sagely_Monastery_Canteen-Kuala_Lumpur_Wilayah_Persekutuan.html

People from all walks of life come here to light incense, meditate, pray…

and to enjoy a delicious vegetarian lunch.

It’s an endless array of tofu, rice, noodles, and vegetables, each made with a Chinese, Malaysian, or Indian twist.

It’s a place where the food is harvested from private fields and prepared with love,

and signs are posted to remind us not to waste.

A special aura hangs over this temple. The din from chatter as hundreds of people eat and talk at communal tables is peaceful, not noisy and distracting.

People clear their own plates with a smile.

And the gentle trickle of a waterfall bids you goodbye.
