The site of the Tower is sacred to several Native American tribes, and even to this day, they bring prayer bundles and place them near the Tower. I didn't manage to find any, so I wasn't able to photograph one, let alone disturb it...
We've had such a hard week. Pinkie is in need of some prayers. I have been so sick with worry over her. She is coming out of a second surgery from complications with an obstruction. It has been hard these past few days watching this lively little girl fight so valiantly. She's had two surgeries now, patching up 5 holes in her intestines the first time and now removing a portion in her second surgery. She is no where near out of the woods but she is a fighter and I know she will pull through.

Postures like this sister were easily sighted. I was impressed by the earnestness of the Korean's prayer. I don't think it was just external: what is inside will certainly be shown visibly too in some way, and at the conference you could sense the passion of the brothers and sisters for God.

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.

Young women spinning prayer wheels in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, turning the wheels is as beneficial as orally reciting the prayers written on them and contained within them.

Swayambhunath is an ancient religious complex atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, west of Kathmandu city. It is also known as the Monkey Temple as there are holy monkeys living in the temple. For the Buddhist Newars in whose mythological history and origin myth as well as day-to-day religious practice, Swayambhunath occupies a central position, it is probably the most sacred among Buddhist pilgrimage sites. For Tibetans and followers of Tibetan Buddhism, it is second only to Boudhanath.
The Swayambhunath complex consists of a stupa, a variety of shrines and temples, some dating back to the Licchavi period. A Tibetan monastery, museum and library are more recent additions. The stupa has Buddha's eyes and eyebrows painted on. Between themis the Nepali symbol of 'unity'.
Much of Swayambhunath's iconography comes from the Vajrayana tradition of Newar Buddhism. However, the complex is also an important site for Buddhists of many schools, and is also revered by Hindus.
Beautiful and vividly colored prayer flags in a Temple. These are not the typical Buddhist prayer flags found commonly in monasteries.
Leah led the prayer. Apparently, she thought she needed to sound different when praying for the service instead of her usual prayers, so she threw in lots of amusing parts. These included praying “for all the people’s issues” which is a phrase I’ve never heard her say before.
The little church at the top of "prayer mountain" in Bario, Malaysia. Full of cobwebs, I got the impression that it isn't often used. Maybe because the hike up takes 90 minutes, at least.
My very first Prayer Flag after reading about Prayer Flags in Jenny Doh's Art Saves Book. It was so much fun, and I can't wait to create more.
