A while back I posted some pretty pictures from inside the beautiful Monestary of Professor Lin Yin in Old Westbury, Long Island, New York. It is one way of life and living, following beliefs and respecting eachother. A Peek inside a Monastery: A respectful way of life in Old Westbury, Long Island, New York Long Island also has a lovely Shrine in Riverhead, where many people go to pray and respect a different belief. I'm often suprised that many people aren't aware of it while others flock there for it's peacefulness.
I stopped to visit there recently after a Feng Shui Consultation in Riverhead and am always struck by it's beauty; maybe you will be, too.
One of the first monuments you see, this place is immense---and very peaceful.
This is set back, I almost passed it.
People leave tokens of prayer and thankfulness. One person we saw leave a special rock.
There is a prayer book in front of this; it almost reminds me of the "grotto" I came across in Oyster Bay, Long Island.
The Pieta.
Beautiful, winding pathways lead you from place to place. This place is very large and there is a lot to see; plan on spending a few hours at The Shrine in Riverhead, Long Island, New York.
I realize the summer is half over and while I've been to many of the places I'd like to go, there are still some I haven't gotten to. Long Island is truly lovely this time of year and there's so much to do. When I'm ready to spend a day driving back and forth, I haven't been out to The Hamptons yet---a MUST see, I go there every year and always find things change there.
