The Religion Trip Reflection
Our religion trip was amazing. We went to Chinese Temple, Islam Mosque and Hinduism Temple. It was very interesting because I am actually Christian and I saw plenty of things that were unusual to me. However, only the methods of praying were different. Basically, the meanings and the purpose were all same. In the Islam Mosque, we weren't able to enter into the mosque because only the muslim could enter the mosque to pray. I also learned a lot things such as that Hindu worship plenty of gods, not just one or two like Christian. The similarities between the Hindu Temple and the Islam mosque was that they both had to take off their shoes. However the difference was that the Islam mosque had very tall and slim tower for someone to climb and pray when Hindu Temple had none of the tower which was tall. I could clearly see the contrast between the Hindu Temple and the Chinese Temple. It was that in Chinese Temple, all the people burned the paper and put it in the small chamber when I couldn't see any of the Hindu lighting the paper with the fire. Plus, another contrast between the Chinese Temple and Islam mosque was that the time for praying must be different since I spotted more than 10 people praying. However in Islam mosque, I only saw about three people just lying down and resting. The most interesting one was the Hindu Temple. The reason is because I saw various Gods that Hindu were worshipping such as Ganesh which was really interesting in my opinion. Our trip was really exciting and sort of fun.
