Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺), known more fully as Otowa-san Kiyomizu-dera (音羽山清水寺) is an independent Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto. The temple is part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto (Kyoto, Uji and Otsu Cities) UNESCO World Heritage site.[1] (It should not be confused with Kiyomizu-dera in Yasugi, Shimane, which is part of the 33-temple route of the Chūgoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage through western Japan.)
.. walking at Shechen Monastery front gardens.. I was looking for the incense shop and saw these young monks chewing sugar cane…
A wall that is now visible as some hoardings have come down around an area of waste ground near Southsea seafront.

I liked the random surrealism of the red chair.
I wish i could have got closer, but a fence was thwarting my efforts.

A tibetan monk I met on the way to Meili Snow Mountain. He followed his famaily to worship the Meili Snow Mountain, the tibetan people see the Meili Mountain like a holy mountain, they belive in that The Tibetan Gods live there. So, for a tibetan people, he must go around the mountain at least once in his whole life. A strong godliness in their everyone's heart. They moved me, and they made me shocked.
Desaturated monks
While walking by the holy lake in Kandy I saw two monks coming towards me with umbrellas in their hands. The contrast between them and the passersbys were so strong that the way I processed this photo is the way it seemed to me while I saw them. I immediately got a photo in my head and sped up so that I’d be able to catch them when they had the filtering light of the tree falling over them. There’s something about monks that fascinate me, not just their philosophy which is close to mine but also the minimalistic way they dress and groom themselves. For me it’s just as Ansell Adams said about B&W photography, you take away all the colors and other things that distract the eye and you’re left with the essence of the moment.
Kandy is a beautiful place and has always been one of my favorite places in Sri Lanka, the climate being a bit cooler than by the coast. It reminds me a lot about the best summer weather in the world, which is Sweden in jun-aug, only problem is that we usually don’t get more than 10 perfect days per year, but those days mmm ; ) Most people know of Kandy because they have the tooth relic of The Buddha there and also because of Esala Perrahera in aug when they have a huge procession and carry a replica of the tooth on the islands biggest elephant. Truly a spellbinding place.

The Sri Lankans shot down two small airplanes this Saturday, one close to the airport and one inside Colombo. The Sri Lankan newspaper calls it a success and praises the Lankan forces and the Tamil network has apparently posted on their webpage that the mission of the planes were a success. Then when you read on the comments to the Lankan newspapers you see the paranoia of the people over here with comments saying that the UN, US, World Bank and probably even “Band-Aid” is behind it and is supporting the Tamils because they complain that Sri Lanka is breaking the human rights laws. Nobody ever meets the allegations but simply state that they have the right to do what’s necessary.

Mahagandhayon Monastery is one of the largest one in Mandalay. At times there are more than 3,000 monks living and studying here. At 10:30 every morning hundreds of monks wait in long queues for their Swan (meals). At the same time, hordes of tourists stand watching and photographing them - of course I am one of those.

Looking east down the 14c nave which continues into the chancel, probably once divided by a screen (now lost) instead of a chancel arch. Although high and lofty, there are no clerestory windows. The arcades are 15c . On either side of the chancel are the north chapel with organ & Feilding monuments www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/LM43c94577 - to the south is the Skipwith chapel the resting place of Thomas Skipwith 1790 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/1546p3M998
A wall tablet tells us that the church was "restored at a cost of about £8000 by Mr (George) Street, the Architect, and was re-opened for public worship October 26th 1869. The Vicar and Parishioners desire to record their Gratitude to the family of the Earl of Denbigh and their friends, to the authorities of Trinity College and to all other friends who assisted them in the work also to Edward Wood Esquire of Newbold Revel, High Sheriff of Warwickshire for his munificence which enabled the parishioners to include the whole of their church in the restoration ... " The north aisle was partly rebuilt in during this time

Buddhism is widely followed in Nepal and is the second-largest religion after Hindhu.
Unlike any other countries, Nepal can be taken as example since both Hindu and Buddhists shared the same temples for worshipping and conduct respective practices.

in arashiyama while i was visiting a temple, i recall Daikakuji Temple i caught this interesting moment.
i was glad to see the young monk practicing his photography skills in the beautiful temple.
On Sunday we attended the prayers and ceremony where the sand mandala is destroyed, swept back to the millions of tiny grains of marble dust. It was a moving ceremony and all those attending were given a tiny bag of the coloured marble dust.
The mandala is started from the centre and, working outwards, the monks use metal funnels called chak-pur to place the minute grains of coloured sand over a pre-marked outline design of the mandala. The vibrations of the chak-pur being grated with a metal rod cause the sands to flow like liquid.
Once completed, the mandala - a two-dimensional image of a Buddha's palace - is destroyed during a ceremony in which healing blessings are requested from the deities. As the monks chant, one monk begins the destruction by scraping a knuckle through the sand, creating a cross of grey sand. Another monk then takes a brush and carefully sweeps the sand from the perimeter to the centre of the mandala where it collected and traditionally dispersed into flowing water, a way of extending its healing powers to the whole world.
The destruction of the mandala is seen to serve as a reminder of the impermanence of life.
