That is indeed cool... I just hope that he's paying homage rather than partaking in micchā patthanā
Metta,

"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

As I said, I hope that's not the case.
