India Adventures (10): A Different Christmas Cheer

By zweiya on 26 Jan 2010 under Photojournal, Travelogue | 1 Comment | Tags: Buddha, loving-kindness, mindfulness

P1020987 Ds

Christmas’ Eve with no carols or party to attend.
Immersed in total silence along the pitch dark countryside.
On a five hour bumpy ride to the next destination.
The night was getting a bit too cold.
But he was always on my mind.
Such warm loving-kindness, that he (the Buddha) always radiated, like he never left.
Finally, I am on a trip to walk where he once walked.
