I know - Buddha behind guanyin, on the left and right are Hua Tuo and Da Mo.
May I know who is Da Mo? What does he do?
To TS, my family used to pray my late father and my ancestors with food, etc....after a while, we use 2 coin to throw for answer. Maybe pple will laugh at me, but it has been nogoing for many many years.

Throw coins? Do you all throw coins without praying with food or what?
I am a Buddhist and I don't throw "bei" or coins but one of my friend told me the waterloo street Guanyin Temple, the "bei" is very accurate. There was once she threw for half an hour still no no.
She said the ç¾ in that temple is also very accurate. She got the same ç¾ for 3 times she asked for. She threw all the ç¾from that container to see whether was it that bottle contained only that ç¾ but it wasn't. There was only one of that ç¾ in that bottle. She said I can verify with her husband if I don't believe because her husband was with her. Amazing right ?
