The Buddha To Be.


The Buddha To Be., originally uploaded by The Wandering Hermit.


The huge 15mtrs. tall statue of The Maitreya Buddha (The Buddha to be & The Buddha of Compassion) at the Thiksey Monastery in Ladakh.

Built to commerate the visit of the Dalai Lama in 1970 it was made by local artisians and took 4 years to complete, yet it remains the biggest and one of the most beautiful statues of the Maitreya...

This is amazing as are many of the other entries. I tried to leave a comment for you on your melancholy blog but wasn't able to.

I spent a few months working on a small novel and didn't do much blogging then. Now, I feel like taking a train to another universe. I think you know the feeling.

Best wishes and hopes you have occasional moments that pierce the darkness.
