Next to those bloody clothes in the old exposition - (clothes from 
missionaries killed in China during the Boxer Uprising) - there was a small 
bronze Omito Fo-statue with a yellowed card that read "Pagan Idol from 
Heathen Temple" ("Afgodsbeeld uit heidensche tempel"). That was only twenty 
years ago. Nice to be so unexpectedly reminded of it on Buddha-l.
