You seem to be frequently writing articles about your trip to the Philippines recently!
I am interested in the fact that you visited a Taoist temple built by the Chinese community in the Philippines!Dear @juecoree !
Chinese Taoists worship the spirits of their ancestors!
The Chinese believe themselves to be descendants of dragons.
So, They build a lot of dragon symbols.
In Christianity, the dragon is probably an image of Satan!😧
Actually, I had been visiting places lately, although some photos where stored in my drive during my hiatus.
The Taoist principle in dealing life is admirable. I think that what compel me to visit the place, aside form the architectural heritage.
Taoism has a lot of symbolism and philosopy attached to the dragon. As to Christianity, it may be a symbol for the devil. However, symbolism have duality. It can be good for others and bad for others.
I think what we can learn here is the principles and mantra attached to the symbolism. It's all about seeing perspective. I'm really curious about symbolism too.
