These are the two mainly and eternal values of Buddhism.
Compassion.
Exposition (MAS, Antwerp, Belgium).
Stained glass window - The Sermon on the Mount (ca. 1600).
I have been waiting to work on this , have done a couple of the ones taken on this shoot , one being , "IN THE SHADOW OF HER MAN " which was much more moody , so I found this one and made it softer and gentle , the colour has created the mood I wanted , so am quite happy......for now.
I was visiting the Ainu village in Shiraoi, Hokkaido. It is a beautiful place, and the people were so nice - you can see the sea right near here in one of my earlier pictures here.
As part of their exhibition of Ainu culture, they keep huge brown bears and these beautiful dogs, all kept in cages far too small for them. I didn't want to show any pictures of the bears, who were constantly taunted by a seemingly endless barrage of Thai tourists - it's too sad for words.
The dogs, running around their cages in circles, appeared irritated. As soon as I came near, this one jumped up, looking at me with those eyes. Ahh, those eyes! How I wanted to take him home.
It's 2011 now - these kinds of conditions should be banned - as should the use of animals for circuses and other forms of "entertainment". What do you think? Look into this dog's eyes, and then answer...

I had a wonderful time catching up and exploring new places with Janna. How nice it is to have a day off with a good friend,
A fighter at the Sor. Puangthong camp in Isaan is being looked after of by the 'mother' of the gym after falling ill. Many gyms in Thailand have the presence of a female who takes care of the kids every day needs.

This beautiful painting of St. Francis Of Assisi hangs in the hallway outside the chapel in St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa, Florida.....I have always loved this painting!
St. Francis holds a special place in my heart!
Stories abound of how St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) could communicate with animals and felt at one with all creation.
Every year on the Sunday nearest his October 4 feast day, Catholic and other Christian churches around the world host services where animals are blessed. These services are a powerful way to celebrate both Francis's and God's compassionate concern for all creatures.
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who deal likewise with their fellow men."

The final peaceful dawn of 2018 rises over the Cowichan Valley. May there be more peace on earth in the new year, and while we’re at it, let’s get some compassion back in fashion toward those less fortunate than ourselves
Old San Juan Alcoholic and homeless that people put gifts near him on Holy Week. I do not know if they do all year long. Next morning he had some more food at his feet, and he does not see who puts it there.
Souvenons nous " lorsque l'horreur frappe, c'est toujours le ceour qu'elle vise le premier" ( Yasmina Kahdra). A chaque fois c'est le coeur de notre humanité qui est meurtri et à chaque fois nous voulons croire que la haine et la mort ne seront pas victorieux et nous nous relevons pour continuer à bâtir ensemble un monde que nous souhaitons plus juste, plus aimant et plus solidaire.
I was witness to a true act of compassion today. The old man in the photos was panhandling in the freezing cold when suddenly a girl approached him and after a brief conversation gave him a bag full of winter clothing (Jacket, scarf, etc.). The old man was speechless and so was I watching this. She wished him well and after a warm goodbye, left. It was a touching scene to see. It made my heart warmer to know people like her still exist. People who care and offer hope to all of us, in so many levels.

Everlasting Loving Compassion's.
Elegantiarum radiorum videndo pacem laudate sublimia exempla vocationibus preces,
gracieuses coeurs habitation joie éternelle miséricordieux Saint Seigneur écoute toujours plus,
תשוקות ראש קרן חסדים אביריים אשכולות ברקים אהובים,
decreti giusti durevoli statuti misericordia amorevole comandamenti sorta verità larghe,
щедрые удовольствий замечательный свобода справедливость остается вне ангелы быть высоким,
oriau dewraf twilights dwyfol dawel helaeth,
springing chuimhneacháin ceaseless ragairne paidreacha amhráin worthiest aloft,
ακλόνητη άγιοι παρουσία μεγαλοπρέπεια την ομορφιά προς τιμήν μεγαλείο πανηγυρισμούς θεμέλια,

We are bound and imprisoned in a web of rumor and contentiousness, where obvious falsehoods are acceptable, and honor is unimportant. Can we rise above, or is this the dystopian future for all of us, where entropy rules? I can hope for a brighter tomorrow...but it is very hard.
"Thither flock the sick for healing,
Blind and lame the grace revealing
That his body lives for aye."
In this window in the St Cecilia Chapel in Nashville, St Dominic is shown healing a sick man; manifold were his acts of healing and even of raising the dead.
Inside the Front Shrine (The Great Compassion Shrine) stands a statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, known as Kuan Yin in Chinese. Nan Tien Temple, Wollongong, NSW.
