"To study the #Buddha Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things. When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away. No trace of enlightenment remains, and this no-trace continues endlessly."

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

Found some old recordings showing the assembly process of my shadowbox designs, here's one of them 😊

This one was inspired by a visit to the Tian Tan Buddha in Hong Kong. Layers of paper cut with a Cricut (or Silhouette, can't remember which I used at the time), backlit with LEDs.

(Edit: Fixed the video upload, I think 🤔)

A close up of the finished LED shadowbox, made from 9 or so layers of machine cut paper, stacked with a gap in a deep frame, and backlight with LED. The scene depicted here is of the Tian Tan Buddha bronze statue in Hong Kong.
Video timelapse showing the assembly of a multi-layered shadowbox made from machine cut paper and backlit LED light. The assembly process is happening on a cutting mat, with various tools (Scissors, pencils, etc) in the back. The scene is lit with an overhanging positionable light.

While living in #India, I taught a course that took me several times to the Deer Park in Sarnath, one of the four holiest sites in #Buddhism. It is where the #Buddha taught his first sermon on the Four Noble Truths after achieving enlightenment. The event was called "The First Turning of the Wheel of #Dhamma." This event is being commemorated today (1 August) this year by many Buddhists.

Photos are from my first visit in 2017.

The photo was taken at dusk at the Dhamek Stupa in Sarnath, Uttar Pradesh, India. In the foreground is a low brick wall with a large metal fence on top with pointed spikes. Extending further behind the main fence is a chain link fence with barbed wire on top. Throughout the fencing are rows upon rows of multicolored Tibetan prayer flags in red, white, yellow, green, and blue. To the right of the photo behind the fence is a stupa made of grey bricks. It is simple and unadorned. To the left in the background are green trees. Everything is yellow in the sunlight.
Photo taken inside the Deer Park at Sarnath, Uttar Pradesh in India. In the foreground the archeological remains of the foundation of monasteries the were previously around the Stupa. The ground is covered in yellowish-green grass and the ruins are in a reddish sandstone. In the center of the photo towards the back is the Stupa. It is made of grey bricks with no adornments. To the right of the stupa is a Jain Temple. It is low and painted white with a golden tower at its center. In the far background are trees along the edge of the park.

Last Light over Kuthodaw Pagoda - Mandalay, 2013

Built in the 19th century by King Mindon, the Kuthodaw Pagoda in Mandalay, Myanmar, is nicknamed the ‘The World’s Biggest Book’. The Buddhist site features 729 marble slabs containing the Buddha’s teachings on various subjects such as ethics and meditation: the Tripitaka.

This stupa looks very massive and majestic in the low angle view. The tiles makes it looking very beautiful. For sure the builder needed a very long time for so much filigree work.
Many tourist come here to the Wat Pho Buddha temple in Bangkok, Thailand.

A very big stupa or pagoda of a Buddhist temple in low angle view against the sky. The whole stupa is decorated with multicolored mosaic tiles. The form looks little bit like a pyramid with a peak edge to the top.
The same stupa shown as wallart over a sofa in a living room.

Phra Chedi Ray is only a part of the big Wat Pho Buddha temple complex in Bangkok in Thailand and has many nice ancient architecture with amazing stupa or pagoda. I loved to capture them in low angle view, so they look even more majestic.
