This the Buddha inside the much-photographed Byodo-in Temple on Oahu, Hawaii. In honor of Khao Phansaa (Thai language), Monday, July 30th. It is the commencement of the annual three months when all monks stay inside their temples and monasteries to study and meditate (at least for Thai monks of the most popular form of Buddhism in Thailand, Theravada; it's also probably the oldest form of Buddhism).

Amazing place this is and the Buddha appears to be very large. I find the ceiling also interesting in that it looks like it is carved out of wood. The shot is very good in what may have been a low light situation.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Rick,

Amazing shot, you did a great job. The photo's I took did not do it justice. Thanks for sharing the beauty.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God's Son will not be lost but will have life that lasts forever.
