Re: Devas Pictures in Sri Lanka
I'm not able to see the pictures - there's a pink strip in dhamma follower's post which says : "You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post"
What permissions do I need ?

Nice picture.
By any chance you have a link to the original post & file? I'm wondering about the background of the photo...like under what occassion/condition it was taken, etc.
Thanks.

Perhaps the forum technicians might help you. No special permission was required from me !
If not, may be the devas ?

The picture was sent to me in an e-mail, in.... vietnamese. It says that sometime on 2010 Nov, This stupa (containing the Buddha tooth relic???) suddenly emitted light. One Srilankese monk was passing by (or afterwards ???) and took the picture. He must have got a good camera then !

Re: Devas Pictures in Sri Lanka
This really is amzing : Apparently there have been similar manifestations at a temple in China that houses the Buddha's relics. Thanks so much for sharing!

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing
Even if my body should be burnt to death
In the fires of hell,
I would endure it for myriad lifetimes

Same here. I see a stupa with a bunch of strings of colored lights hanging off of it. What am I missing?mr. gordo wrote:I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing

Greetings,
I suspect it's the blurry orange things that are allegedly devas?
Metta,
Retro.

Re: Devas Pictures in Sri Lanka
If the monk took only one picture, I would be very sceptical. I would think the normal response on seeing anything unusual would be to take a number of pictures from various angles.
Re: Devas Pictures in Sri Lanka
So far as I can tell, stupas that look like this are everywhere. This one, judging from the columns, is a small stupa in Mihintale. It is not one of the numerous sites that claim to be a temple of the tooth.*kirana wrote:may i know where the place situated?

Re: Devas Pictures in Sri Lanka
I tried finding the picture elsewhere, with or without the devas, but I just can't find it. With two million people going to Anuradhapura for Poson, it's just going to be impossible to find that photo.
From the skeptic's point-of-view, you'd think that it would have made more of a splash if that many people were around. But hey, you never know.
