I stayed only 4 days in Bagan, and got almost mad. This is one of the rare daylight shots I am happy with (Myanmar, Bagan, December 2004)

Buddhism is a family of beliefs and practices considered by most to be a religion and is based on the teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as “The Buddha” (the Awakened One), who lived in the northeastern region of the Indian subcontinent. He likely died around 400 BCE. Buddhists recognize him as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end their suffering by understanding the true nature of phenomena, thereby escaping the cycle of suffering and rebirth (saṃsāra), that is, achieving Nirvana. Among the methods various schools of Buddhism apply towards this goal are: ethical conduct and altruistic behaviour, devotional practices, ceremonies and the invocation of bodhisattvas, renunciation of worldly matters, meditation, physical exercises, study, and the cultivation of wisdom.

A monk chanting in a monastery near Nyuangshwe, Myanmar (Burma). I didn’t see the kittens at first - they only popped up when they heard the sound of my camera.
Bagan - monks candles & full moon by Sara Heinrichs (awfulsara) on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
Full moon, candlelit temple, old monk in prayer, young monk - all remarkably still for a one second exposure. Many of these were simply too soft, especially those of the young ones. They were tiring and wavered in their meditation.
There is one that I actually like, a strange shot, dreamy. Perhaps I shall post it later…
