One of my favorite photos from the Longmen Grottoes that remind me of later Roman/early Byzantine carved reliefs from the 3rd to the 5thc AD European art. The Longmen Grottoes are located in Luoyong, Henan Provence, China.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.
“The village that surrounds the great Kāṣyapa stupa is generally known by the name of Bauḍḍha. which in Tibetan is called Yambu Chorten Chenpo (Tibetan: ཡམ་བུའི་མཆོད་རྟེན་ཆེན་པོ།). The real name of the stupa in full is, however, Jya Rung Khashor Chorten Chenpo, which may be translated into: "Have finished giving the order to proceed with.” The stupa has an interesting history of its own which explains this strange name. It is said in this history that Kāṣyapa was a Buḍḍha that lived a long time before Shākyamuni Buḍḍha. after Kāṣyapa Buḍḍha’s demise, a certain old woman, with her four sons, interred this great sage’s remains at the spot over which the great mound now stands, the latter having been built by the woman herself. Before starting on the work of construction, she petitioned the King of the time and obtained permission to “proceed with” building a tower. By the time that, as a result of great sacrifices on the part of the woman and her four sons, the groundwork of the structure had been finished, those who saw it were astonished at the greatness of the scale on which it was undertaken. Especially was this the case with the high officials of the country, who all said that if such a poor old dame were allowed to complete building such a stupendous tower, they themselves would have to dedicate a temple as great as a mountain, and so they decided to ask the King to disallow the further progress of the work.When the King was approached on the matter his Majesty replied: “I have finished giving the order to the woman to proceed with the work. Kings must not eat their words, and I cannot undo my orders now.” So the tower was allowed to be finished, and hence its unique name, “Jya Rung Khashor Chorten Chenpo.” #travelphotography #yinyang #photography #delightingyoualways #canon #wanderlust #nepal #nepal8thwonder #wow #wownepal #portrait #explore #explorenepal #kathmandu #kathmanduvalley #boudha #unesco #worldheritage #worldheritagesites #travelnepal #awesomenepal #solo #peace #Boudhanathstupa #buddhism #buddhist #boudhanath #travel #travelnepal #himgeo (at Boudhanath Temple)

How positively lovely is this palm sized brass White Tara figure?! White Tara is often prayed to for improving health, healing and for longevity. She offers healing to our wounds, whether it is our bodies or our minds that have been hurt. In Buddhist tradition, Tara is actually much greater than a goddess — she is a female Buddha, an enlightened one who has attained the highest wisdom capability and compassion.
