A Former Moment

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
Buddha

This is a large statue of Buddha in Wat Ou Sai Kham in Chiang Mai Thailand. On the wall are murals depicting some events in the former life of the Buddha. But let’s not dwell on that.

  1. I wonder how thick that gold is. Probably about 1/1000", but if you add it all up it's still a fair amount of gold. Awesome color. I wish I could go visit Thailand.

  6. Beautiful Don. Makes me miss Thailand but in a good way. Although, I guess it's not good to want to steal a plane ticket. ;)

  8. this is nice-- I do try to follow the zen-buddha way-- to live in the moment- to eat my food slowly, the look out at my water view more often- and to slow down when I am reading blog posts :-)

  11. I just uttered a very unpleasant word as I saw this wonderful picture! Beautiful colours and I like the angle. (Note that I am not an expert with photographs, but I just like it).
