If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo

Oh isn't that lovely! We have them over here but they are the button yellow variety and not quite as spectacular .... but their name , nenuphar, has always entranced me.

Greeting Retro,
I looks like one of those places where the gandhabbas dwell.

I hope you and your young son didn't get lost in the maze!
Cheers

Greetings,
Sure. It's actually a scaled down version only 25% the width and 25% the length of the original. If you want the original, just message me your e-mail address.
Metta,

I think the original would be too big for my lotus picture collection, this size is just fine, thanks ever so much.

Nice one, Retro!
I took this shot at the LA Japanese Gardens last summer. Looks like a different kind.
