Dhammikarama Burmese Temple established in 1803. The oldest and only Burmese temple in the state.

Chiesa San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (1634)
ROMA
Architetto: Francesco Borromini
San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane es la obra maestra de uno de los máximos exponentes del barroco, Borromini, donde se adoptan soluciones muy innovadoras y revolucionarias con un espacio disponible muy reducido. Y el autor realiza un verdadero milagro al ampliar el espacio. La estructura de la iglesia es toda un movimiento continuo: la fachada se flexiona, cóncava y convexa a la vez. La planta es elíptica pero también es un octágono de paredes acodadas, imposible de definir en una figura geométrica precisa. Las paredes parecen estirarse en un continuo de soluciones ingeniosas al igual que la cúpula ovalada, que es única en su especie. Es un claro ejemplo de cómo la genialidad y la creatividad no siempre necesitan grandes espacios.

San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane is the masterpiece of one of the greatest exponents of the Baroque, Borromini, where highly innovative and revolutionary solutions are adopted with a very small space available. And the author performs a true miracle by expanding the space. The structure of the church is all a continuous movement: the facade flexes, concave and convex at the same time. The plan is elliptical but it is also an octagon with bent walls, impossible to define it in a precise geometric figure. The walls seem to stretch in a continuous of ingenious solutions just like the oval dome which is one of a kind. It is a clear example of how genius and creativity don't always need large spaces.
Walking through the fields next to the village of Markyate in Hertfordshire, you might come across this. It is part of a memorial for a young woman who had died in 2016. The memorial has been attended to ever since. The place is important to the family. It is not the graveyard but the fields, nature, where you, as I did today, can hear the song of the larks descending. My feeling is that this is intended to be a place where the young woman can still be found. Where she is present, perhaps in the lark's song. Fuji X-100F.

“Varanasi is one of India’s most ancient cities and a major pilgrimage site. Its beauty lies in its centuries-old traditions, spectacular ghats, and narrow winding streets. It is a city full of beauty and history, known for its vibrant culture, colourful temples and old buildings. The river Ganga is the lifeblood of the city, and all along its banks, visitors can see millions of devotees visiting temples, offering prayers, and the constant cycle of life happening. Kashi, which means “city of light,” is seen as the city of faith, work, and salvation. Here, beauty and spirituality come together in a way that tourists can see and feel.”

The Role of Ancient Mills in Preserving the Historical and Spiritual Memory of the Peoples
For a long time, the old wind and water mills were progressively abandoned and one of the oldest professions no longer made sense.
Unfortunately, as in many other things, Man did not understand the importance of preserving knowledge and ancient professions such as the millers.
In the Ion Mystical World these places have not only a material and testimonial importance but also a spiritual one, as many of them are located in isolated places with a romantic and mysterious aura of times past. This spirituality is revealed in sounds, light, shadows, smells and unique forms that awaken our senses and enhance our consciousness and collective memory as a people.
They not only contain ancient technical knowledge and experience of man, but are also the result of the temporal resistance of the souls who have preserved them to this day with great sacrifice over generations.
Therefore, these places must not only be preserved for their architectural, landscape and historical importance but also for the preservation of the memory of human life.
In the Ion Mystical World we fight for the conservation of these places but also for the training and dignification of new professionals who can maintain them in the future and teach new generations about the times when the old mills existed and flour was produced to make bread.
More than feeding our body nowadays, they continue to feed our soul !

O Papel Dos Antigos Moinhos Na Preservação Da Memória Histórica e Espiritual Dos Povos
Durante muito tempo os velhos moinhos de vento e de água foram sendo progressivamente abandonados e uma das mais antigas profissões deixou de fazer sentido.
Infelizmente o Homem como em muitas outras coisas não compreendeu a importância de preservar os conhecimentos e as antigas profissões como era a dos moleiros.
No Mundo Místico de Ion estes locais têm não só uma importância material e testemunhal como também espiritual, pois muitos deles localizam-se em locais isolados com uma aura romântica e misteriosa dos tempos passados. Essa espiritualidade revela-se nos sons, na luz, nas sombras, nos cheiros e nas formas únicas que acordam os nossos sentidos e engrandecem a nossa consciência e memória coletiva enquanto povo.
Eles encerram não só um antigo conhecimento técnico e experiencia do homem como são o resultado da resistência temporal das almas que os preservaram até aos nossos dia com grande sacrifício ao longo de gerações.
Por Isso esses locais não devem ser preservados apenas pela sua importância arquitetónica, paisagística e histórica mas também pela preservação da memória da vida humana.
No Mundo Místico De Ion lutamos pela conservação destes locais mas também pela formação e dignificação de novos profissionais que os possam manter no futuro e ensinar as novas gerações sobre os tempos em que existiam os velhos moinhos e se produzia a farinha para fazer o pão.
Mais do que alimentar hoje em dia o nosso corpo eles continuam a alimentar a nossa alma !

within the weft and warp
of the fabric of my soul
connected to man and god
lies my sartorial spirituality
of a faith that is hussain
the name of progressive
peaceful humanity
truth justice
brotherhood equality
despite the color of our skin
the color of our creed
we stand as children
of one god
on the scales of parity
“When our eyes are graced with wonder, the world reveals its wonders to us. There are people who see only dullness in the world and that is because their eyes have already been dulled. So much depends on how we look at things. The quality of our looking determines what we come to see.”
― John O'Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace

The birth of a white buffalo calf is a sacred event in First Nations communities and is considered a sign that prayers are being heard and that change is coming. This 2,000 year old prophecy told by the Lakota, says the White Buffalo Calf Woman appeared to a tribal member and told them she would return as a white buffalo calf to restore harmony and spirituality to the world.
Arise! Arise! The voice said!
Observe the stars in the sky.
Watch the Sun and the Moon.
Look to the Four Directions.
Change is coming!
Listen to the wisdom of the Great Spirit!
A New Awakening is dawning…

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road
Don't let someone else catch your dreams. You be the dream catcher.

Composed primarily of circular hoops with weblike netting and often decorated with beads and feathers, dreamcatchers are recognized by Natives and non-Natives as a symbol of First Nations and Native American identity and spirituality.

if humankind ever makes the leap to a space-faring species, i wonder what will religion be like?
what is the religion of a people born in space? you cant extinguish religion, it fills a gaping maw in the human 'makeup'. we need to feel connected to something deeper, more magnificent than ourselves. religion is the calcified artifact of spirituality. we require religion for a moral bearing, if spirituality is anchoring upon a distant teleological endpoint, be it a perfect unity, a dissolution of the self, a natural path (?), a technological transcendence, religion is the methodology that accretes along that viewpoint. it is structure, ritual, boundaries, seperateness from the without. it is exposition and definition of the 'conception'.
you cannot extinguish religion, it is a consequence, a by-product of us. religosity wanes, however, as competing orthodoxies are dismantled or fall apart under the weight of natural inconsistencies. there is no perfect atheist. their atheism becomes its own structure. the hedonist becomes their own imperfect god.
i would suspect that the spiritual yearning would be greater in a space-faring culture. the wide expanse of null space would trigger a voracious spiritual hunger. the enclosed reality of space-faring would give rise to an intense clanish or communal experience that would feed the construction of a religious structure. no other groups to provide resistance, feedback, or cross-polination of spiritual concepts. no outside restraints. a bacterial culture gone wild .
spirituality (a basic human need for the greater, the more magnificent, the deeper) kicks it off, then religion accretes around it, like a coral reef. religion defines the path to the divine (whether that be a perfect unity, a creative principle, a dissolution of the self (ala siddahartha) or even the myth that science will reveal the natural world - and what is 'outside' the path, the unbelievers, the hells of the weak, ignorant, or irrelevant. eventually religion becomes a moral regulation and a political authority - and the spiritual origin is lost, like flesh from a fossil.
The see-through church, officially "Reading Between the Lines," is a unique artwork in Borgloon, Belgium. Designed by the architectural duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh in 2011, the church consists of 100 stacked steel plates. Due to its open structure, the building appears solid from some angles and almost transparent from others. This symbolizes the interplay between landscape, architecture, and spirituality. The see-through church is a popular tourist attraction and offers an impressive view of the surrounding Haspengouw region.
