i just went to the buddhist meditation center in barre, ma. there was a silence observation in place so i couldn't actually talk to anyone. nice peaceful place though. reminded me of northern maine:no one to talk to, nothing to distract you, lots of nature, men in orange robes... i thought there would be an actual temple there, since that's where "the next karate kid" supposedly took place. no dice... my search continues.

all the buddhist temples i went to in china were about the farthest you could get from "peaceful". a constant barrage of firecrackers and tourists.
