Stop Press!

Trying to finish Cyprus trip. Four new videos uploaded into previous posts.

After trotting around Southeast Asia over the summer, I'm now back in the UK - Cambridge to be exact. Am trying my best to update as frequently as my clinical course will allow.

Entries on Italy and France two winters ago have been put on hold indefinitely. Read: possibly never. But we shall see.

Entries on Greece and Turkey last winter have also been put on hold for the time being.

Cave of Full Enlightenment

(3 of 10 of Dazu Buddhist Grottoes)
They look majestic in their flowing robes and elaborate ornaments. Graceful and elegant in their poise. Solemn in the silence of the cave. Deep in meditation on the dharma, they command a sense of respect and reverence. And within the silence itself, the dharma takes form and comes to life. The walls of the cave reverberate with the voice of the dharma, propounding it to the statues who listen attentively on their way to nirvana. The sunlight enters the mouth of the cave and casts dark shadows around. As dark and deep as the minds of the statues to which they belong to.
