When somebody asks me hows Sri Lanka, My ans invariably is tht its v much like kerala except for the inherent differences that Buddhism has infused..... Buddhism there is a way of life jus as Hinduism is in India! Hers a pictorial walk thru of the diff Buddhist temples tht we hopped into....
Then we reach the ancient Buddhist city ~~ The Dambulla temple which is almost prehistoric.. being built somewhere in the early BCs.... The finesse of the work is worth marvelling at.....
Heres a closeup shot of the sole of the recling buddha ~~ I wish I knew what the figures in there signify....
Signing off with the Buddha that I picked up for ma home when in Srilanka :)
Heres a suggestion for you if you intend to go buddha-shopping in Srilanka ~~ The best bets are the buddhsit centeres or Laksala by Srilanka Handicrafts board

ReplyDeleteBeautiful statues! I just rent a cd this week about the Dalaï Lama and the way to understand the buddhism! We need a little serenity in our stressed life here!
