The design of this temple is mysterious and provokes wonder about its meaning. Perhaps this in itself is sufficient.
We all seek out sacred spaces, even inside ourselves. We deal in metaphors because we can't quite grasp life's enigmas.
The great American writer, Thoreau, once wrote:
“Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones."
Buddhism is a religion of metaphors, as is every belief - as is our daily experience of living.
Have a good day, my friend.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
Yeah, it's quite spooky and mysterious. But nice pic!
