Taking pictures of the Buddha statues inside the buildings at this temple site was strictly forbidden. In one building, a brightly painted and gold gilded Buddha soared over three stories high. Another building housed a collection of hundreds of smaller Buddhas - each with a different face and attitude - laughing, scowling, jeering, leering, angry, surprised...
I thought the picture of the locked red doors and the rings of "silence" going through the lion's mouths was symbolic.
