Buddha
Mitra Roshi writes, “The photo cannot do this work of art justice, as the gold paint that is used doesn’t show up. There is something deeply compelling about this beautiful painting!”

The Buddha and
the Mad Elephant
A mad elephant charged down a street in which Buddha was walking with many other monks. Everyone scattered in fright—only the Buddha remained, quietly waiting. As the elephant came closer to the Buddha, he was overcome by the Buddha’s radiant kindness, and knelt before him.

Monk Chewing on a Koan
Zen Master Hakuin wrote about his “problems with those vile koans—koans difficult to believe, difficult to penetrate, difficult to unravel, difficult to enter.” Anyone who has struggled with a koan in this way can well appreciate the emotion captured in this monk's expression.
