Day 8 Saturday 10th May
Mount Timfy.
Weather: sunny and warm, still (~ 23ºC).
Our day is dedicated to the recorded in Guinness Book of Records as the deepest gorge in the world Vikos Gorge
and its surroundings. The exceptional natural creation grabs with its 12 km length, 1100 m wide and 900 m depth
(Pic. 20). Among the majestic cliffs appeared that the vertiginous trail is under construction, but after seeing our
sad eyes the workers had compassion for us and let us on it, but not to the end of it ... Most of the interesting
species remained unattainable beyond the gaping abyss. Alas, Southern Swallowtail also did not appear and we
decided to retire. We were just leaving the yard when we noticed couple of Orange Tip, which most of the
participants managed to photograph. The plateau was strangely deserted - perhaps the season was late, perhaps
because of the daily rainfall (so unusual for May in Greece) ... However, we spent time with the breathtaking
views of the canyon. Here came true the dream of many of the participants in the tour for Southern Festoon (Pic.
21), single Gruner's Orange tips also were interesting, in a little stream we found Grecian Smooth Newt
couple(Lissotriton vulgaris graecus) absorbed in marriage games. After getting back to the hotel a light shower
started and we enjoyed the view of double rainbow, wondering if we'll find a pot of gold at the end of it or if we
will change our gender if we go below it. After we transfered the pictures from the camera to the PC, it turned out
that the "couple" Orange Tip

Statue of Kudara Kannon
Wooden statue with metal crown (c.1930)
Made by Niiro Chūnosuke (1868-1954)
This replica statue is a 'living embodiment' of Kannon, a Buddhit saviour deity who offers humans compassion and mercy. Kannon wears a bronze crown and holds a water vase. The statue is carved in a style that came from China and Korea in the AD 600s, soon after Buddhism first arrived in Japan. It became known as the Kudara Kannon at the end of the 1800s, named after the early Korean kingdom of Baekje (Kudara in Japanese). The practice of Buddhism is one vital way in which Japan has been influence by the outside world, in particular, mainland Asia.

Compassion Bloggers visit Nicaragua June 18-22,2013 to write about the ministry of Compassion International. compassionbloggers.com/nicaragua
We went out into the countryside for a day to visit Daily, a child that we sponsor through compassion. It was such a wonderful experience! When we got there we were welcomed by Daily and her mother, along with the choir from the Compassion compound, singing for us.
To be honest, I didn't think that visiting would be that big of a deal, but it turned out to be a day that all of us will always remember and so cherish. Daily's mother described it as "the happiest day of their lives" and it was so good to meet them and see what an impact that Compassion has had on their lives...wow.
The compound we visited had 240 children at it, and they hadn't had visitors since 2002, and we were the first sponsors ever to come. So, the children were so excited to meet us. The man told us afterward that having sponsors visit is to the child, almost as big as a wedding day, and the children all pray that their sponsors will come. A humbling experience for sure...

I have created this work using my hands as a brush. This technique arose from my need to show compassion to myself and to embrace him. After thinking about it, I realized that my need to show compassion to myself is accompanied by the need to put back traumas from my childhood and to forgive my parents. At that moment I realized that the hands symbolize not only mine but also my parents. The lack of physical contact such as the hug from them has played an important role in the gap that exist between us and still preventing me from overcoming it.
Moreover this gap causes me a feeling of being trapped and isolated which I express by mixing the colors at the bottom of the design.

Eikando, formally known as Eikan-dō Zenrin-ji, is a historic temple in Kyoto renowned for its autumn foliage and a rich legacy in Pure Land Buddhism. Established in the Heian period (853 AD) by the monk Shinsho, it initially functioned as a Shingon Buddhist temple before transitioning to the Jōdo sect under the leadership of its famous abbot Eikan during the 11th century. Eikan, revered for his compassion and teachings, left a lasting spiritual influence that shaped the temple’s identity. Eikando is often called the "Temple of Maple Leaves" due to its stunning seasonal colors, which have made it a beloved destination for centuries.
The temple’s design is a harmonious blend of Heian period elegance and Zen simplicity, with a series of interconnected halls and pathways that wind through its hillside setting. One of its most iconic features is the Amida-do Hall, housing a unique statue of Amida Buddha with a backward glance, symbolizing the Buddha watching over his followers. The Hojo Pond Garden reflects traditional Japanese landscape design, providing a tranquil space for contemplation. The temple's elevated Tahoto Pagoda offers panoramic views of Kyoto, blending architectural beauty with natural surroundings. Eikando’s layout and aesthetic exemplify the deep connection between spirituality, art, and nature in Japanese culture.
