塔尔寺

塔 = 土 + 荅 : Tecumseh (t) opened a minaret (塔) in the ashram (a3). Because he is too lazy to sing himself all day, he set up an answering machine (荅) to play the prayers and built a funnel out of clay (土) for better sound.

尔 = ⺈ + 小 : Mnemonic symbol derived from the components: a peace dove. Albert Einstein (Ø) wants to send a message of peace to earth from the space station's living room (Ø3). He wanted to give a dove (尔) a daisy (小) so that it can bring it to earth, but the dove is late! Albert has no choice but to give it to a passing crane (⺈) instead. Thus, the crane flies to earth with the daisy in his beak, just like a peace dove.

寺 = 土 + 寸 : Socrates (s) built a Buddhist temple (寺) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4). To protect it from being destroyed while floating around in zero gravity, he built a protective frame made out of mud (土) around it. After finishing it he inspects it and thinks "thumbs up" (寸), because he is proud of his work.
