I used to visit on a regular basis a giant reclining Buddha statue. Something I do not think most visitors saw behind the Buddha were 108 Alms bowls (bowls monks use in the morning to beg for food in the morning) lined up in a nice row. Today, some of those Alms Bowls are known as Singing Bowls. As for those 108 Alms Bowls, some people would drop coins into the bowls which made an interesting sound.
