The Gyanak Mani Temple is famous in the northern Kham region of Tibet. Many pilgrims can be seen walking the kora around the temple each day. People around the temple sell carved prayer stones. The stones vary in size. Some are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, while others weigh more than 50kg / 110lbs. Each prayer stone is carved with the classic Tibetan mantra "O Ma Ni Pad Me Hum". During Losar (Tibetan New Year) many thousands of pilgrims and worshippers can be seen walking around the temple.
The Gyanak Mani Temple. This temple has the largest collection of hand carved prayer stones anywhere in Tibet. Well over 2 billion of these hand carved stones are stacked in a 1 square kilometer area. The stacked walls of prayer stones are 3m high and every day thousands of pilgrims come to worship at the temple. Pilgrims walk around the site prostrating to the ground every 6 steps. During Losar (Tibetan New Year), tens of thousands of Tibetans walk around this area. The Gyanak Mani Temple is one of the holiest sites in Tibetan Buddhism found on the Tibetan Plateau.

It is a symbol of enlightened mind, (the awakened mind, universal divinity) and the path to its realisation.
If you had to use just two words, the best definition I have seen is "Spiritual Monument"
The stupa represents the Buddha's body, his speech and his mind, but most especially his mind and every part shows the path to Enlightenment
"The visual impact of the stupa on the observer brings a direct experience of inherent wakefulness and dignity. Stupas continue to be built because of their ability to liberate one simply upon seeing their structure" - Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
Every stupa contains at the very least a life tree and holy relics:
"When a great teacher passes away, his body is no more, but to indicate that his mind is dwelling forever in an unchanging way in the dharmakaya, one will erect a stupa as a symbol of the mind of the buddhas" - HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
Estive bem ocupada nos últimos dias, ficou difícil atualizar por aqui.
Ontem foi um domingo muito feliz: eu, meu namorado e mais uma equipe de amigos super profissionais fizemos um editorial de moda. O resultado ficou bem melhor do que poderiamos imaginar! Eu trabalhei na produção e o amor nas fotos.
Logo divulgarei o resultado, espero que vocês gostem tanto quanto eu gostei de fazê-lo. (:
Obrigada pelos comentários carinhosos, amo demais! :D

Sometimes one tries to get a 'candid' look, but it is not possible to catch folks completely unawares. When this occurs I am always happy to those who continue their activities and the smile that 'being discovered' can sometimes add to the portrait.
Hannah is still in the routine of walking in
my door, giving me a hug, and then say-
ing, "Let's have a tea party!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She works really hard at pouring up that
tea! I love "making memories" with her!

Hope every day is a party for you!

of "I have set sail on a fast mountain". I love how those double-zero paintbrush lines in the original size look so impossibly tiny in the smallest prints!
After seeing me pet this horse a moment earlier, this little boy in the spiky helmet stopped his bicycle by the fence, waited for the horse to come to him, and tentatively and gently petted him. I just loved witnessing such a sweet moment.
Emily fashion doll by Arcady / Barbie clone doll
Emily was Jada’s friend made by Arcady sold in similar boxes as Jada with only the name changed to Emily.
“Arcady” the company that made Emily sold this doll in many knockoff Barbie doll boxes that used Barbie’s logo designs and cartoon illustrations as their own. Emily had a friend doll named Jada that was another Barbie clone knockoff that that was an African American version of Barbie. Emily was mostly sold in boxes with extra outfits with accessories. She was also sold with a friend doll which was basically an extra Emily doll in the box instead of Jada.
Arcady is a toy company in China that makes knockoff fashion dolls and toys for Dollar stores that sell knockoff products. This company is known for making Barbie clones that used left over stock of old Barbie head molds from the early 2000s. Mattel updated Barbie’s looks over the years the head molds that many of these toy companies use are outdated versions of Barbie’s head mold that Mattel no longer uses.
Mattel, has made a rule to many of these toy companies these days, that they can no longer use these old versions of Barbie’s head mold due to copyright infringement. Instead Mattel told these companies to make their own fashion doll head molds to stop copying Barbie.

I always love making Rack laugh. We could always cause each other to convulse, in that pee your pants sort of way, especially on those long walks across Lower Manhattan. Seems she can do it to Marcel too.
I wanted to get back to Rack, and wanted to get them to know each other. I would like for her to get acquainted with James, Marcel (as here), Chickenman (though she did know him already from my doctorate), the Giant Silverfish and Dolly, and the rest of this motley crew. Goya and Jacques Louis David would be there too, and Marcus Sargeant shooting blanks at the former queen from a starting pistol, back in 1981, at the junction of Horseguards Road and the Mall.
I know. It is all too much, obsessive even, this seemingly incongruous menagerie.
I guess I am doing this because of Rack. We embraced mortality from the moment we met, and still appear to be doing so, together apart, three and a half decades later. 'Embracing mortality' together for 35 years might end up being what one could describe as a 'Life'.
It somewhat reminds me of the Bee Gee's staple, 'I started a Joke'
You simply have to laugh.

Malayan Tiger +++ Male cub
Panthera tigris jacksoni
One of six living subspecies of tiger, the Malayan tiger wears the characteristic striping pattern of black stripes on orange and white that provides excellent camouflage in the forest. Using its quiet stalking ability, a tiger will ambush large prey, often pouncing on it from the rear. Other than females with their young, tigers are solitary and come together only to mate. Each tiger defends its own territory from others of the same gender. Territories must be large to provide enough prey for a tiger to eat. As more and more forests disappear, tigers struggle to maintain a territory with sufficient prey.
•A tiger may travel up to 20 miles a night in search of prey.
•Unlike most cats, tigers seem to enjoy swimming and soaking in water.
•A tiger’s roar can be heard up to two miles away.
•One out of every 10,000 tigers will lack the orange coloring. These white tigers are not albinos; they simply express a recessive gene.
