Buddha and Me


When I visited Common Grounds Meditation Center last Sunday, I was impressed with the simple and lovely decorations and statues in the building.


A friend took the opportunity to take a photo of me surreptitiously as I was photographing Buddha.  Some friends just can't be trusted.

    Never trust someone with a camera, friend or not! Do you remember the book, "If you meet the Buddha in the road, kill him!"? I've still got it somewhere. Excellent.

    I like the simplicity of the first photo. The second photo is pure fun.

    Beautiful Buddha corner. Every photographer needs a photo or two of themselves at work!

    I can't resist taking a picture of people taking pictures. I like the peaceful colors in your shot.

    I am frequently in the role of your friend. I created a large collage poster of photos of Julie taking photos in dramatic locations around the world. Julie's mother has it hanging -- in her garage.

    We also have a small Buddha in our living room. It's quite nice actually.

    There's a beautiful Temple and grounds in Southern California that I have enjoyed visiting and photographing...very simple...very peaceful!!!

    I laughed when I read your comment on my blog about never noticing the St. Francis statue!!! With so much else to see, you can't see everything!!! I forgot that you move to Santa Fe every year...I should have emailed you for tourist tips!!! Next time!!!

    I like both shots, each for a different reason. I do like how Buddha looks over your right elbow.

    Buddhas are very popular. I am often surprised at the unexpected and perhaps inappropriate places I see them.

    Cheese!
