Here are some videos I took of the Loy Krathong festival, an annual holiday that the people of my town celebrate down the street from me at the river. It is the holiday that they venerate the water goddess Khankha and thank her for providing water. And we have been having very heavy monsoon conditions here lately so her presence was definitely felt! After we got back home it started pouring rain again. #thai #thailand #buddha #buddhism #spiritual #spirituality #hindu #hinduism

"Do not be concerned with the faults of other persons. Do not see others' faults with a hateful mind. There is an old saying that if you stop seeing others' faults, then naturally seniors and venerated and juniors are revered. Do not imitate others' faults; just cultivate virtue. #Buddha prohibited unwholesome actions, but did not tell us to hate those who practice unwholesome actions."

LESSON OF TIME - KARMA

When a bird is alive.. It eats Ants. When the bird is dead.. Ants eat the bird. Time & Circumstances can change at any time. Don't devalue or hurt anyone in life. You may be powerful today. But remember. Time is more powerful than you! One tree makes a million match sticks... Only one match stick needed to burn a million trees... So be good and do good.
— Buddha

Is there any dumber than assigning nationality to historical figures who were not only born centuries before said countries and borders existed, but before the idea of "nationality" and "nation" existed?

Yes. Assigning nationality to mythical figures and mythical kingdoms.

I think this is my favorite so far! I took my Bright Future mandala abstract and added my Stone Rock'd yin and yang symbol.

Thank you for looking. :)
