"And when the living have become faithful,
Honest and upright and gentle,
And wholeheartedly want to see the Buddha,
Even at the cost of their own lives,
Then, together with the assembly of monks
I appear on Holy Eagle Peak.
...
Such are my divine powers.
Throughout countless eons,
I have always lived on Holy Eagle Peak
And in various other places.
When the living witness the end of an eon,
When everything is consumed in a great fire,
This land of mine remains safe and tranquil,
Always filled with human and heavenly beings"
- The Lotus Sutra, Chapter 16, trans Gene Reeves.
A lovely quotation to go with your beautiful shot. The sun breaking through the light clouds really adds drama as it is dropping behind the far mountains.
Well done!
Well done!
