Even the toilets, the water tower, tourist bathrooms and crematorium of this temple are made of bottles. The monks and the locals who have helped them build this stunning temple should be appreciated for their concern for nature.

I guess its pretty logical, churches get built all the time why not temples but I never really thought of it like that. I wonder what Buddhism's stance on alcohol is. It might be ironic that the temples built from beer bottles. Its beautiful nonetheless.
