Kinkakuji (Temple of the Golden Pavilion) is one of Japan's most famous Buddhist temples, not for its Buddhist teachings but for its magnificent architecture of the Golden Pavilion. The Golden Pavilion, sitting right next to a calm pond, glittering under the bright sun, has charmed hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
Let's see an old photo of the golden pavilion. It looked really run down. The golden surface didn't glitter, probably because there was no sun.
And here is how it looks in modern days. The pond is clean, the gold is glittering. Mmh, now is better :)
