A young woman, visiting China for the first time, stood one morning in Canton in the midst of a Buddhist temple. The guide had told the party that this was the "House of 10,000 Buddhas," and it was easy to believe he had not exaggerated. The girl stared at the countless carved wooden faces, some of which were hideous and most of which were grotesque. Finally she said, "I have been looking for one that looks like the ''good shepherd,'' but I don't see any. Don't they have one that cares?"
