Bengbeng said something which made me think. He said Buddha would weep if he saw the condition the world is in today.

I don’t think so. We cannot change our karma but we can always strive to make the world a better place for everybody and ourselves.

Bengbeng also inquired about The Compassionate Guan-yin.
Guan Yin vowed to never rest until she had freed all sentient beings from samsara, reincarnation. Despite strenuous effort, she realized that still many unhappy beings were yet to be saved. After struggling to comprehend the needs of so many, her head split into eleven pieces. Amitabha Buddha, seeing her plight, gave her eleven heads with which to hear the cries of the suffering. Upon hearing these cries and comprehending them, Avalokitesvara attempted to reach out to all those who needed aid, but found that her two arms shattered into pieces. Once more, Amitabha came to her aid and appointed her a thousand arms with which to aid the many.

We all have to fulfill our destiny.
The Path is divided into three main sections: wisdom, ethical conduct and mental discipline.
These are good shots, and a very interesting posting too.

Interesting colours in the temple,btw. I’m also using the Canon S5.

Of course we can change our karma since we created the good or bad ones by ourselves. How come you blurred your own image by the Lion? Shy ka?

AT: Not handsome
Once again, a beautiful tour.
Lovely shots.
I love the atmosphere there!
That is why we have a duty to ourselves and the people around us; to think and do positive actions. One may not think that it is sufficient, but if more people participate, then the difference will show.
Spread positive vibes, spread good karma, and good karma will return tenfold.
