My buddy praying and asking advice from Lord Buddha

Further in the temple, there's a platform where you could buy fish food for
feeding the fish.  This is also a way of cultivating merits.  Sadhu

I've never see fish food displayed like this, so colourful :)

Come come fish...nine baskets of fish food coming!

Feeding frenzy - apparently, no amount of food can satisfy them. 

Now to feed the turtle...

Dish of papaya can be purchase from the lady that looks after the pond
