Hi All,

I am currently busy processing some Buddhism-related images I took during my last trip to Thailand.

My online gallery is available here:

Take a look if you have time and let me know what you think :)

It needs a password Dean...
Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.

Three of the few pictures I made back in 2002 at Wat Pah Nanachat. If one of you know the happy samanera, please send me a pm. We were good friends back then. :smile:

Get the wanting out of waiting

Let none find fault with others; let none see the omissions and commissions of others.
But let one see one's own acts, done and undone.

"The point of meditation is to essentially push the ego into a corner so that it has nowhere else to go. The ego is based on attachment—our attachment to the body and to ideas. When the ego is cornered and has nowhere to go, the only thing one can do is to put it down. And when one puts down the ego, then that is enlightenment."
