“In your transition may you become a better human being and a blessing to society.”  by johnfalconer

“In your transition may you become a better human being and a blessing to society.”

A Buddhist blessing.

The first full moon in May (or the second full moon if there is one) is the day we celebrate the birth, passing away and enlightenment of The Lord Buddha.

Yesterday especially, one should go to the temple (I didn’t), not eat meat (I had fish which is a fail), make merit (which I try to do everyday - sort of) and listen to prayers made by his teachers (I listened to Thai Buddhist Chants/Prayers on Spotify!)
Wow, that's an incredible shot! Thanks for the interesting info, too. I did the no meat part, but only by coincidence as I do that every day anyway!

Thank you. I’m not a Buddhist but I think of Buddhism a lot.

Very impressive pic! I didn't eat meat (I never do) and helped an old lady on the train. Hopefully that's enough ;-)

I’m not Buddhist. But it’s my first choice if I go down that path.

A wonderful moon and narrative John. I too am not Buddhist but I do agree and like their faith. While living in Japan I was a bit more into it, here I have no opportunity. Funny, I was on Spotify too ;-)

Beautiful capture. We have a thick layer of clouds during the full moon. Even the Moon does not want to see what is happening on Earth now.

I don't know if I am a better human but I am less argumentative - does that count.

Thanks Diana. I lived and worked in Thailand for over 20 years. I got to like Buddhism.
