I rode my bicycle by the Chua Van Hanh Temple just after a rain shower this morning, and I couldn't resist stopping and taking some more pictures. Some of the pictures should be seen bigger, so click on them.
IF YOU HAVEN'T READ OR HEARD THEM LATELY, take a look a some of the sayings of Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.
