Once I had the idea to post at least one Dom picture a month. Failed pretty quickly, but I still think we don't see enough Dominique around.
Here is her picture. :-)

This was one of the rarest sights of my life. Lord Buddha was passing through the tiny channel in Rangamati Lake. His procession was musical with the sounds of splashing water & enchanted prayers. The gusty wind bringing the hint of rain and in the distance the black pile of falling clouds carried the eminent sign of it. There was a glow in the sky; there was a glow on the river which simply made me spellbound. I was watching it from the edge of a small hill. The golden statue of Lord Buddha sitting infront of the procession was carrying the lead. Devotees were excitingly following the Buddha’s boat as he will be placed in a newly built temple.
With the realization that there was more to life than the lavish and luxurious life he was leading, Prince Siddharth Gautam, who was born in the southern Terai region of Nepal in about 543 BC, left his palace in search for enlightenment and the true meaning of life. He attained enlightenment while meditating under a pipal tree. He began to preach "The Four Noble Truths" to all who would listen. According to this doctrine,
“Existence is suffering,
Cause of suffering is desire”.
Buddha traveled far and wide teaching hundreds of followers. Even after death his disciples continued to spread his teachings and I saw his calm bright figure passing right pass me. For a brief moment I was oblivion to pain, worry, and the external world. It was almost like finding my nirvana.

Magha Puja Day in 2012 at Dhammakaya Temple, Pathumthani, Thailand
Sony A77 + Sony 16-50mm f2.8 SAL1650 SSM lens
Māgha Pūjā day marks the four auspicious occasions, which happened nine months after the Enlightenment of the Buddha at Veḷuvana Bamboo Grove, near Rājagaha in Northern India. On that occasion, as recorded in the commentary to the Mahāsamayasutta, DN-Comm 20) four marvellous events occurred:
There were 1,250 Arahata, that came to see the Buddha that evening without any schedule.
All of them were Arhantas, the Enlightened One, and all of them were ordained by the Buddha himself.
The Buddha gave those Arhantas principles of the Buddhism, called "The ovadhapatimokha". Those principles are: - To cease from all evil,- To do what is good,- To cleanse one's mind;
it was the full-moon day.
The Buddha gave an important teaching to the assembled monks on that day 2,500 years ago called the 'Ovādapātimokha'[1] which laid down the principles of the Buddhist teachings. In Thailand, this teaching has been dubbed the 'Heart of Buddhism'.

Took this a couple of days ago during a scouting mission to find some new locations.
This is a lovely little area near Nelson Bay NSW.
Conditions were perfect - no wind, fluffy clouds on a nice blue sky and incredibly clean blue water over a sandy bottom.
I can see the new beta flickr shows this off to full advantage - enjoy!!
Is this the real Nivara? Everyday, people go to pagoda for praying, but it is necessary? Not really, because Buddha is in your very mind, heart, not in your apparent attitude.
So don't need to hide your true nature, just show and fix it possibly if you can :)
