Clear sky over Beijing and Niujie Mosque.

Baba's thought for the day
"Every sense is an outlet for the energy of
man in a direction that binds him to
the objective world"

It was an unusual day...clear sky day in Beijing!I Had to take these pictures!!

I also visited the Niujie Mosque. Unfortunately I arrived at 12.45pm on a Friday, so I was not able to get near or into the main prayer hall. This mosque was built in the fourteenth century of the Liao Dynasty. The complex covers 6,000 square metres and contain a hall of worship, minaret, lecture hall and a pavilion and ablution chamber. Muslim men and even Muslim women were streaming into the mosque. there is a specila worship hall for women.

This place is valued because it houses the Shaihai Tombs pf the final resting place of elders who came from Arabia to lecture on Islam in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty.
