When we went to Wolong ("Sleeping Dragon") Temple in Xi'an, Shaanxi (in August, 2009), the figures in the main hall, including the 24 Deva Kings, were new and still being finished.
I used to complain about finding temples under repair; but I learned to see them as examples of the Buddhist principle of impermanence. Plus, we saw "history in the making"!
