My gift to the sangha

Dearest Sangha members,

I have a gift for all of you, in the form of a photograph, that represents my respect and love for each and every one of you.

When I ritually wash the rice for a meal I rinse it three times. Firstly for the Buddha, secondly for the Dharma and thirdly for the sangha. Please know that you are my sangha and I always think of you and wish you the best on the path during the third rinse.

Please accept this gift from me and fell free to print it out if you like it!

    ....Actually, BSF... if you could just pop the original into a jiffy bag and post it to me.....:p :thumbsup:



    That is lovely.
    Particularly poignant for me, as an image, as I have a tough couple of days ahead of me....
    ...thank you for thinking of us.

    Thank you for posting this.

    In fact, I think I'm going to use it for my next watercolor project!

    What a beautiful picture! Did you take that picture yourself? If so, where?

    And how interesting...I do the same sort of rinse with my rice as well. :)

    It's just a snap from my camera phone that I took at the weekend at Senso-ji in Tokyo.

    I'm glad you like it!
