One of the highlights on the Xiamen (Fujian Province) tourist map is the sprawling Nan Putuo Buddhist Temple Complex. Built at the foot of the Wulao Peaks, it is named for Mount Putuo near Shanghai, one of the four sacred mountains in Chinese Buddhism, and a pilgrimage site for over a thousand years.
As the rough tracks and stairways lead off into the woods, the way is brightened with random prayer flags and vegetation.
During the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907), the Buddhist monks who lived in the hills here had the area established as sacred Buddhist land and built the first temple dedicated to the Bodhisattva Guanyin. Today, the extensively renovated complex spreads over 25.8 hectares, and houses (among other buildings) the Buddhist Institute of South Fujian.

Yumthang Valley (3,575m; 14,000ft) is a grazing pasture surrounded by the Himalayan mountains in the North Sikkim district of Sikkim, India. A tributary of the river Teesta flows past the valley. During the spring months, the area blooms with rhododendrons, primulas, potentillas, gentians, saxifrages, poppies, aconites larch, juniper, maple along with rambling lichens. You can also see silver fir and well-groomed thick mat of moss shielding the soil. It is also home to the Shingba Rhododendron Sanctuary, and has over twenty-four species of the rhododendron, the state flower.
The spring season is regarded as the best time to visit, when rhododendrons blossom to their apex in the sanctuary. Can be reached easily from Mangan in the northern part of Sikkim. Lachung is the last village where you can accommodate yourself, in the vicinity of the Sanctuary. Yumthang is closed between December and March due to heavy snowfall.

'The concept of the prayer wheel is a physical manifestation of the phrase "turning the wheel of Dharma," which describes the way in which the Buddha taught. Prayer Wheels originated from ‘The School of Shakyamuni sutra, volume 3 – pagoda and temple’ which states that, “those who set up the place for worship, use the knowledge to propagate the dharma to common people, should there be any man or woman who are illiterate and unable to read the sutra, they should then set up the prayer wheel to facilitate those illiterate to chant the sutra, and the effect is the same as reading the sutra' - Wikipedia

{{ And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, son of Mary, confirming what was before him of the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, wherein was guidance and light, and it confirmed what was before it of the Torah, and it was a guidance and an admonition to the Godfearing. }}

Prayers to the victims of the Myanmar's Cyclone Nargis and China Sichuan earthquake. Both the natural disasters have claimed about 77300 lives in Myanmar and 28800 lives in Sichuan so far. These two tragedies happened just nine days apart, Sichuan was hit by 7.9 magnitude earthquake equilvalent to the damage of 240 atomic bombs on the 12 May 2008. The reaction from both country governments varies vastly to the foreign aids. Beijing says yes but Yangon still resists. Myanmar military ruler selffishness to open to outside world being afraid of interference to the ruling policy is putting the lives of 2.5 million survivors at stake. So far, only 270,000 were attended by aids groups. International aid officials vented their frustration at Myanmar's continued rejection of offers of help. The United Nation said on 16 May that severe restrictions have left aid agencies unsure about the extent of survivors suffering and unable to reach the disaster zone. May God bless all who have lost their lives and the survivors.
Seems to be quite appropriate to post this picture today, even though it was shot quite a few years ago.
And let me quote from Numbers 6:24-26:
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Let's keep in our prayers the military and security personnel and all the citizens.
ניראה מתאים במיוחד להעלות את התמונה הזו דווקא היום, אפילו שהיא צולמה לפני כמה וכמה שנים.
ותרשו לי לצטט מבמדבר ו' פסוקים כד'-כו':
יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה, וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ. יָאֵר יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ. יִשָּׂא יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם.
בתפילה אחת לשלומם של כל אנשי כוחות הבטחון והאזרחים.
