My link to the western world. A written and photographic journal of my travels in Asia.
I received more pictures from the mandala project today. This is a picture of me and one of the monks. He is my age, and as someone who has considered ordination it was fascinationg to talk to him. Someday he will be a Geshe, and I rejoice in the merit of this, and the work that he and his brothers are doing.

"A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker." - Buddha Shakyamuni
"When harmful places are abandoned, disturbing emotions gradually diminish. Being without distraction, virtuous endeavors naturally increase. Being clear-minded, certainty in the Dharma arises. Resorting to secluded places is the Bodhisattva's practice." - from the 37 Bodhisattva Practices
"In brief, this alone is the definition of introspection: the repeated examination of the state of one’s body and mind. I shall practice it with my body. What is the use of merely reading the words? Will a sick person have any benefit merely by reading about medical treatments?"-Shantideva
