Siddartha: youtu.be/dsMFJyMEdzs
Happy furry Friday, everyone!
Nimm dir jeden Tag die Zeit, still zu sitzen und auf die Dinge zu lauschen. Achte auf die Melodie des Lebens welche in dir schwingt.
(Siddartha Gautama Buddha)
“And when Siddartha listened attentively to that river, that song of a thousand voices, when he listened neither to the sorrow nor the laughter, when he tied his soul not to any individual voice, entering into it with his self, but instead heard them all, perceiving the totality, the oneness, then the great song of a thousand voices consisted of a single word, which was om, the absolute.”
Hermann Hesse, Siddartha, 1961
“the divine in me respectfully recognizes the divine in you.”
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND VIEWS, COMMENTS, FAVES AND INVITES!
...and there was also a neatly laid-out cemetery,
hundreds of identical white crosses in rows,
and they were labeled "Maria", "Teresa", "Maria Teresa", "Teresa Maria",
and the only sadder cemetery I saw was last summer in Switzerland.
And I was dragged there by a Hermann Hesse fanatic,
a very sincere Swede, who had never recovered from reading "Siddhartha",
and one hot August morning when the sky was quiet,
we made a pilgrimage to the cemetery;
we brought a lot of flowers and we finally found his grave.
It was marked with a huge fir tree and a
mammoth stone that said "HESSE" in huge Helvetica bold letters.
It looked more like a marquee than a tombstone.
And around the corner was this tiny stone for his wife,
Nina, and on it was one word: "Auslander" — foreigner.
And this made me so sad and so mad that I was sorry I'd brought the flowers.
Anyway, I decided to leave the flowers, along with a mean note,
and it read:
Even though you're not my favorite writer,
by a long shot,
I leave these flowers on your resting spot.

This is the next shot from the My Spooky Girlfriend series. Upon seeing this, Bill and I immediately thought of Laurie Anderson's spoken word peformance quoted above.
I had a few titles in mind, but this one is inspired by Liz Barrett's comment on the previous shot from the series:
What I can't help but think about when reading your list of "somebodies" is the number of "nobodies" who are there as well. I don't mean that to sound insulting, but I think it's an existential fear that humans have (or that this human has, anyway) to die and be forgotten by everyone.
Thank you, Liz, for your prophetic glimpse into the subject matter of this photo, and for helping to tie it all together.
As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life - Siddartha Gautama
Thanks for exploring my "shameful' selfie pictures on previous upload. I didn't expected at all it's just fun upload for myself. Here we return to the something serious stuff, I shot this lady sitting under the tree where the Buddha also sitting for meditation long time ago in Lumbini, Nepal - the birth place of Siddharta Gautama ( Sakyamuni Buddha ).
I actually don't have time to upload for today, but I don't want people staring to my personal pictures too much so I insisted to upload while I feels so sleepy ^__^
Etlingera elatior (also known as torch ginger, ginger flower, red ginger lily, torch lily, wild ginger, combrang, bunga kantan, Philippine wax flower, (goda olu), (goda nelum), සිද්ධාර්ථ (siddartha), : Huǒjù jiāng, Indonesian tall ginger, boca de dragón, rose de porcelaine, and porcelain rose) is a species of herbaceous perennial plant.
The showy pink flowers are used in decorative arrangements, bunga kecombrang, are an important ingredient across Southeast Asia. In North Sumatra. The flower buds are used for a stewed fish dish called Arsik ikan mas (Andaliman/Szechuan pepper-spiced carp).[citation needed] In Bali, people use the white part of the bottom part of the trunk for cooking chilli sauce called "Sambal Bongkot", and use the flower buds to make chilli sauce called "Sambal Kecicang". In Thailand, it is eaten in a kind of Thai salad preparation. In Malaysia, the flower is an essential ingredient in cooking the fish broth for a kind of spicy sour noodle soup called "Asam Laksa" (AKA "Penang Laksa"),in the preparation of a kind of salad called Kerabu and many other Nyonya dishes.The fruit is also used in Indonesian cooking.
I recently moved to a beachy, waterfront, ground-level place (finally!!), and was so enamored with the outside, I got hold of Tiki Tattoo's beautiful "Palm House Penta" to create this little open-air hideaway with exotic touches and lots of indoor greenery.
Just a couple of days ago, though, I got hold of Ionic's "Siddartha Cafe" from the gacha at this round of Chapter 4. It's utterly gorgeous!! I'm itching to rez and decorate it, so I'll be packing this up today.
Before I did, though, I wanted to at least grab one good shot of the Penta house and play around with it. I have a bad habit of switching places before I have a chance to take photos. :D I just couldn't do it with this one.

"Quando qualcuno cerca, allora accade facilmente che il suo occhio perda la capacità di vedere ogni altra cosa, fuori di quella che cerca, e che egli non riesca a trovar nulla, non possa assorbir nulla, in sé, perché pensa sempre unicamente a ciò che cerca, perché ha uno scopo, perché è posseduto dal suo scopo. Cercare significa: avere uno scopo. Ma trovare significa: esser libero, restare aperto, non aver scopo"
“When someone is searching, then it might easily happen that the only thing his eyes still see is that what he searches for, that he is unable to find anything, to let anything enter his mind, because he always thinks of nothing but the object of his search, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed by the goal. Searching means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal"

Caption: Gotoma leaves his palace to become a beggar from the king's son. One of the many dramatic scenes from the new film of the Münchener Lichtspielkunst, The Light of Asia, which Franz Osten created as the first German large-scale film with the participation and support of the indigenous princes of the historical cities of India in several months of joint work by Indians and Europeans. An overwhelming picture of oriental splendour and exotic beauty.
Himansu Rai (1895-1940) was one of the stars of the early Indian cinema when India was still a part of the United Kingdom. He often worked with German director-producer Franz Osten. Later Rai became a producer.
he German-Indian production Prem Sanyas or Die Leuchte Asiens (Franz Osten, Himansu Rai, 1925) depicts the story of Prince Siddhartha Gautama, the man who became the Buddha. Prem Sanyas is a fascinating hybrid between exoticism and authenticity. The film made stars of the two young leads, Seeta Devi and Himansu Rai. Actor/director Rai would become one of the pioneers of the Indian cinema. Prem Sanyas was the first Indian co-production and made with the cooperation of the Maharajah of Jaipur. The film contained a cast of thousands. The shooting took place in Lahore, in what is now Pakistan, where the set decoration was created by Devika Rani, the wife of actor/director Himanshu Rai and a noted actress herself.
Actor/director Himansu Rai was born in 1895 into a wealthy Bengali family. While training as a lawyer in London in the early 1920s, he began to act in plays. In London, he met his later wife Devika Rani who designed film sets and would continue to work with him. In 1933, he joined forces with IBP of England and wholly produced Karma/Fate (J.L. Freer-Hunt, 1933), a bilingual film in English and Hindi. But the Nazi seizure of power in Germany caused Rai to abandon international co-productions and so he decided to concentrate on the domestic film market in India. In 1934, he formed Bombay Talkies Ltd. and built a studio. Under his painstaking supervision, it purchased the most modern equipment from Germany. Franz Osten and a handful of technicians came down from England and Germany to work with him. By 1935, a stream of Hindi productions had begun to emerge from the studio. The advent of World War II meant that the studio's German technicians as well as director Osten were interned by the British, which crippled the studio. Overwork and mental strain eventually took its toll on Rai, who suffered a nervous breakdown which he never recovered from. Himansu Rai died in 1940.

Decided to keep the trend going with the highlighted objects submerged in darkness. Built a little anti-light box on a table, and put this Buddha statue inside. I feel as though the red tint adds to the overall composition.

Mahavira: Encyclopedia - Mahavira
Mahavira (वर्धमान महावीर) or Mahavir (the "Great Hero" -- Also, Vardhamana (increasing) or Niggantha Nathaputta -- 599 BC-527 BC, though possibly 549 BC-477 BC) was the 24th, and last, Jainist Tirthankara.
Mahavira established what are today considered to be the central tenets of Jainism and was a contemporary of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha.
Mahavira - Overview of Mahavira's life
Mahavira was born on the thirteenth day under the rising moon of Chaitra, in the ancient republic of Vaishali, now a district of Bihar state, India. According to the Gregorian calendar, Mahavira was born in April. His birthday is celebrated as Mahavir Jayanti. He died at Pawapuri. He was known as "Vardhamana" (increasing) because it is said that his family's wealth grew after his conception.
Being the son of King Siddartha and Queen Trisala, he lived the life of a prince; but at the age of thirty, he left his family, gave up his worldly possessions (over the course of a year), and spent twelve years as an ascetic. At one point, it is said that Mahavira had more than 400,000 followers.
He died in 527 BC at the age of 72. Jains signify Dipavali, the last day of the Hindu and Jain calendars, as the anniversery of his death and, accordingly, the day he attained Moksha.
It should be noted that "the dates that Jainas attach to Mahavira's life are 599-527 B.C.," though "some modern scholars prefer 549-477 B.C."1
Mahavira - Awakening and enlightenment
After he renounced his princehood, he spent the next twelve and half years in deep silence and meditation and took on the discipline of conquering his desires, feelings, and attachments. He carefully avoided harming or annoying other living beings including animals, birds, and plants. He also went without food for long periods. His enduring calm and peaceful character against all unbearable hardships presence the influence of his title, Mahavir (a Sanskrit word, meaning very brave and courageous), given to him by his peers. During this period, Jains believe his that he attained keval-jnana, or perfect enlightenment, in which spiritual powers fully become developed and perfect perception, knowledge, power, and bliss are realized.
Mahavira spent the next thirty years travelling around India preaching to the people the eternal truth he realized. The ultimate objective of his teaching is how one can attain total freedom from the cycle of birth, life, pain, misery, and death, and achieve the permanent blissful state of one's self, or Moksha, Sanskrit for "liberation".
Mahavira preached that from eternity, every living being (soul) is in bondage of karmic atoms that are accumulated by good or bad deeds. Under the influence of karma, the soul is habituated to seek pleasures in materialistic belongings and possessions, which are the deep rooted causes of self-centered violent thoughts, deeds, anger, hatred, greed, and such other vices. These result in further accumulation of karmas.
To liberate one's self, Mahavira taught the neccesity of right faith (samyak-darshana), right knowledge (samyak-jnana), and right conduct (samyak-charitra'). At the heart of right conduct for Jains lie the five great vows:
* Nonviolence (Ahimsa)- not to cause harm to any living beings
* Truthfulness (Satya)- to speak the harmless truth only
* Non-stealing (Asteya)- not to take anything not properly given
* Chastity (Brahmacharya)- not to indulge in sensual pleasure
* Non-possession/Non-attachment (Aparigraha)- complete detachment from people, places, and material things
As taught by Mahavira, Jains belive that these vows can not be fully implemented without the acceptance of a philosophy of non-absolutism (Anekantvada) and the theory of relativity (Syadvada, also translated "qualified prediction"). Monks and nuns are held to follow these vows strictly and totally, while the common people may follow the vows as far as their life styles will permit.
In the matters of spiritual advancement, as envisioned by Mahavira, both men and women are on an equal footing and were taught by Mahavira that they may equally renounce the world in search of ultimate happiness.
Mahavira attracted people from all walks of life, rich and poor, kings and commoners, men and women, princes and priests, touchable and untouchable. He organized his followers into a four-fold order, namely monk (Sadhu), nun (Sadhvi), layman (Shravak), and laywoman (Shravika). This order is known as Chaturvidh Jain Sangh.
Lord Mahavira's sermons were orally compiled by his immediate disciples in the Agam Sutras. These Agam Sutras were orally passed on to future generations. In the course of time, many of the Agam Sutras have been lost, destroyed, or modified. About one thousand years later the Agam Sutras were recorded on Tadpatris (leafy paper that was used in those days to preserve records for future references). Swetambar Jains have accepted these sutras as authentic version of His teachings while Digambar Jains use them as a reference.
Jainism existed before Mahavira, and his teachings were based on those of his predecessors. Thus, Mahavira was more of a reformer and propagator of an existing religious order than the founder of a new faith. He followed the well established creed of his predecessor Tirthankar Parshvanath. However, Mahavira did reorganize the philosophical tenets of Jainism to correspond to his times.
A few centuries after Mahavira's death, the Jain religious order (Sangha) grew more and more complex. There were schisms on some minor points, although they did not affect the original doctrines as preached by Mahavira. Later generations saw the introduction of ritualistic complexities that some have criticized as almost placing Mahavira and other Tirthankars on the thrones of Hindu deities.
