Bhikkhu meditating beneath tree / in empty hut (Photo req)

[Paññāsikhara]

Hello my friends,

I'm looking for a nice picture of a bhikkhu sitting in meditation beneath a tree or in an empty hut, to match up with that pointed and oft-repeated exhortation from the Teacher:

There are these roots of trees, these empty huts. Meditate, bhikkhus, do not delay or else you will regret it later. This is our instruction to you.

Preferably something with fairly high resolution, as one can always make the file size smaller, but cannot make the image sharper. I've had a little look around, but maybe knows some particular photo somewhere, maybe even of a bhikkhu that you know!

Thanks in advance.

How's this one, Venerable?

He doesn't look like he's meditating to me, but he's got the location!
kind regards

Nice!

9.5 /10 for the tree and structure underneath,
3 / 10 for the bhikkhu, who looks like he's chillin', more than yogin'.

Not bad.

A little too much bhikkhu for my requirements, however.
Need more tree (like the first one).

Thanks though.

I'm in no rush, so let's what others may have .... (he said hopefully ... )

Hi,

Maybe you'll like photos with Ajahn Chah:

Thanks.

I recalled some photos from Vimutti, back home in NZ.

and while browsing, noticed that this year's dhutanga was around the area where I grew up.

If you are curious about the caption for one photo "Where Consciousness Departs", let me explain. This is the northern tip of NZ, and in Maori tradition, this is the place where the departed finally leave the land as they make north on their spiritual path after death. Hence the name.

Usually I'm not too keen on Buddhist statues, but I love this one:

I guess it's because of the more western face. (Does that mean I am prejudiced? )

Well, I've heard that the tradition of making statues of The Buddha came from Greece anyway.

Maybe these photo's?:




EDIT

Sorry, not a hut and no tree

Nice.

I would prefer less bhikkhu and more tree / forest / cave / etc.
