“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.” Mahatma Gandhi

Prayers of healing and peace.......

Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic.

This is a prayer card from 1918 for the funeral of my great grandfather Napoleon McNabb.

An old friend from high school is going through a hard time right now.

Wherever she is, I pray she's given the strength to make it back home.

The mantra "om mani padme hum" is carved with impressive precision, into these pink round stones by a man who is sits, crouched all day long with hammer and chisle in hand. For a small fee you can choose a stone of your own to transform into prayers. Entire walls are constructed of these prayer stones. Some of these walls are over a kilometre long. Believers travel many many kilometres to reach these sacred walls in order to contribute a stone and add their prayers to the wall.

Prayer flags at evening. Nan Puoto Buddhist Temple, Xiamen China

Continuous prayers for peace and safety for all beings everywhere, especially at this time, in the land next to where I live.

(please understand my non-visiting your photo pages now. I am trying to concentrate my photo-work into a force for peace)

The third important component of Buddhism- Prayer wheels. Anyone can spin them if it's to the right. Remember, don't go back that way!

Taken at the 7th Chennai Photowalk (re-run). A prayer session in progress at the Mylapore temple tank.

It was getting dark as we arrived at our last Mandalay temple-stop of the day, but fortunately the rains held off. We positioned ourselves on the upper balcony of a modest monastery - who's name I don't know - and waited as a young monk struck a metal bong repeatedly with a heavy wooden striker. Quietly, walking barefoot, maroon-robed monks emerged from all directions, and lined up to enter the prayer hall, where they sat for meditation, chanting and prayers.

I'm almost ashamed to tell you guys that this trinket of mine has gathered dust. But I look at this whenever I feel a little lost and need some answers.

Oh yeah, first picture with my DA* 50-135mm f2.8

I liked the perspective here and then I noticed a group of muslim students praying and liked the symbolism of a group of muslims praying and the American flag right next to them.
