Buddhism is in some ways fascinating; even to an atheist. It is more a belief system than a religion and the idea of karma is something that I try and live by. Sometimes one must wonder if an entire world subscribing to Buddhist beliefs would be a world at peace. Possibly so, as we would spend most time in peaceful prayer and meditation. Then again, possibly not, we are still humans. But the peace and inner strength one can feel from Buddhist monks inspires me to learn more of meditation and contemplate spending time in a temple. Here is my favourite monk from Cambodia, Thun, captured at the amazing Angkor Wat, contemplating the world:
Mine is a particular form of atheism where it’s still possible to believe in The Force, Yoda, Karma, Weather Gods and Superman. My world, my rules. Flemming

Another wonderful image from this trip for the collection Flembot, I like the poise and gaze of contemplation to the heavens.
Thank you Tony.
Great image Flemming, but I reckon he is trying not to look at the carvings on his right! 🙂
Possibly. Although that would require leaning out of the window quite a bit 🙂
He KNOWS they are there though! :-0
Great portrait Flemming. Quite agree with your philosophies as well….
Beautiful
Thanks Hazel.
