Offer Some Incense

Big weekend coming up. I have an article to finish writing (see Verification), a Priest Ordination ceremony (shukke tokudo) at EHZC to participate in, and then there's that Super Bowl game. Good time to offer some incense to call forth the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, to slow down, and to reflect on the health and happiness of all sentient beings. Small cash offerings (see above) may be distributed as appropriate. Happy weekend to everyone. May your favorite team win. [NOTE: Image shows a small altar next to some shady stairs at Angkor Wat in Cambodia].

Incense Offering

Scene in one of the interior rooms at the temple of Bayon (see Bayon) at Angkor Wat. Love the row of seated Buddhas carved at the top, the curl of incense smoke, and the little swatch of saffron cloth on the altar. [NOTE: Off to Hawaii tomorrow for two weeks. Yippeee!]
