There has been debate over whether the prayer box originated in the Buddhist or Hindu faith, but these prized religious objects are treasured today by many faiths, and even by nonreligious individuals. Originally worn as a religious ritual object, prayer boxes are now used primarily as jewelry and worn for sentimental, not religious, purposes

معبودا از اختلاف نمودها و تحول پديده ها دانستم كه مي خواهي در هر چيز، خود را به من بشناساني تا در چيزي به تو نادان نباشم...
آيا[چيزي]غير از تو نمايان تر است كه بدو آشكار شوي؟ تو چه وقت غايب بودي كه براي يافتنت نياز به دليلي باشد؟ و تو چه وقت دور بوده اي كه نمود هاي جهان، مرا به تو رسانند؟
..آن كه تو را گم كرد چه چيزي يافت؟ و آنكه تو را يافت چه چيزي گم كرد؟»
--«الهي...ما الطفك بي مع عظيم جهلي!
...الهي ما اقربك مني و ابعدني عنك!
الهي...ايكون لغيرك من الظهور ما ليس لك حتي يكون هو المُظهِر لك؟ متي غبت حتي تحتاج الي دليل يدل عليك؟ و متي بعُدتَ حتي تكون الاتار هي التي توصَلَ اليك؟»
(از دعاي اماو حسين در روز عرفه)
The above lines are original Arabic, and Persian translation of a prayer called “Arafah”. I don’t know if there is an English translation of this, but to get a hint of how it feels, I’d suggest listening to Cantata BWV 106 by J.S.Bach.

***With Disneys Star Wars weekends ALL wrapped up for the year I am wondering who will be planning on going to one of next years Star Wars weekends? I am planning on taking Joey for a long weekend on one of them next year, but I want to plan it out so I can meet up with some of my Flickr contacts, and possibly a few of you who have children so they can all have fun together too. :-)
Thanks for looking.
If you believe in the power of prayer/sending positive energies please do so for my beloved Bugsy. He is limping badly; the vet believes he may have sprained his leg, and he is on pain medication for several days with a follow-up visit due in a week. We would appreciate your healing prayers! Thank you!
Another one from the Monkey Temple in Kathmandu. Not an easy one this. Used my 2 stop ND and the black half of my 2 stop grad to make a 4 stop ND filter then shot this handheld at an FF equivalent focal length of 67mm! Thankfully the IS did its job.

Prayer flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras. Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity. The five colors represent the elements: yellow – earth, green – water, red – fire, white – cloud, blue – sky.
The prayer goes on for about 20 minutes, going through the usual motions of standing, kneeling and bowing to the east.
