Buddhist Scenes from around Mandalay







There is a deep peace and timeless wisdom in the teachings of Buddha. Some even say that the great prophet Jesus traveled to the East and that is where he gained much of the knowledge he would later teach (One of many examples is that the law of Karma and the metaphor that one reaps what they sow is one and the same),

Throughout Asia, there are different forms of Buddhism, different takes on the teachings. Yet, the fundamentals remain the same. Inquire within. Pay attention to the soul more than the world. Treat others with kindness and be mindful in your actions. There is more more than this and it can take lifetimes to learn all the teachings. Yet if one could practice just these few things, we might find the world a bit more centered and peaceful.
