A wonderful audio slideshow which duckrabbit (producers of beautifully crafted slideshows) has linked to on our blog.

Dear Ms.Hu, Thank you for capturing the intensity of such a vibrant faith that appears to span generations.Your photography buttressed by the chanting captivates the senses. Although devoid of physical chanting Buddhist devotion from Beijing to Hong Kong seems to be thriving.
