Weekly Photo Challenge: Heritage

photograph of a Buddha statue and incense by Doug Couvillion

Here’s my submission for the weekly photo challenge subject Heritage.

I’ve been practicing Buddhist teachings and meditation for the last 10 years or so. Striving for non-attachment, self awareness and compassion for all sentient beings has changed my life in ways that are difficult to explain.

  Thanks Helen. Thich Nhat Hanh is simply an amazing person. I’ve read several of his books and they are inspiring to say the least. Be well.

    Thanks Doug. Twenty years ago TNH visited Edinburgh . I was lucky enough attend a talk he gave . Another day he led a walking meditation through the city centre and we all sat in the Peace Gardens below Edinburgh Castle where he gave more teachings. 🙏
