These photos were taken at a photo exhibition titled ‘The Floating Buddha.’ Some monks can actually meditate with their legs straight out in front of them while their back is at a 45 degree angle. It appears as though they are hovering/floating above the ground. Some monks meditate while walking (either alone or in groups.)
The photos on display were pretty amazing. Some were of five or six year old boys in a seated meditation (they can stay like this for hours.) What are we doing to our kids in the western world? Sometimes our kids can’t sit for five minutes!
The man is restoring a Buddha’s head that was cracked at the neck. There were other people soldering on fingers, hands, etc. People were painting and cleaning- they take much pride in the care and display of their artifacts.
