In front of the Jokhang temple, she and her family did a full body prostration.

 

This is very hard to do,

The actual prostration is performed by dropping the body forward and stretching it full length on the floor, the arms outstretched in front.... Again, with hands in the lotus bud mudra, bend your arms back and touch your hands to the top of your head (forehead touching the ground), a gesture that acknowledges the blessing flowing from Guru Rinpoche. Then stretch your arms out once more and push yourself up.... Bring your hands into the lotus bud mudra for the third time and touch your heart in a gesture of reverence. Then, walk forward in body length, with a smooth motion, bring your hands to your crown and perform the next prostration...........

Saints Peter and Paul Church, San Francisco, Ca

Acordar...

...em esplendorosas ilhas no Atlântico plantadas...

...desde a hora azul, em lugar místico, isolado e ao mar conquistado pelas forças telúricas, onde a devoção do homem a Deus, ao Mar e ao Sol tem lugar...

 

Wakening...

...in splendorous islands i

n the Atlantic planted...

...from the blue hour, in a mystic and isolated place and to the sea conquered by the telluric forces, where the man's devotion to God, to the Sea and to the Sun takes place...

Each time I visit Beijing I try to spend some time in Yonghegong Lama Temple, the most beautiful temple in the city.

 

On this late winter afternoon, shortly before they close, the sun was low enough to shine into the hall of the buddha shrine creating increadible rays of light through the smoke of burning incent sticks.

Ellora Cave 16: the Kailasanatha Temple. 8th century.

 

Conceptualizing an idea that would take 200 years to complete, take 7500 people to finish, with buy-in from 10 generations of stake holders, detailing it to the T (a house of god cannot have a wrong cut), excavating 400000 tonnes of rock, all of these could only have been possible because of the sheer brilliance, love and devotion of those involved.
