section of Jinci Temple near pond
another section of the Jinci Temple park borders a lake and has a majestic pagoda. ancient buildings, in my estimate from the Song dynasty, surround large courtyards. many beautiful clay statues that have been meticulously preserved are displayed. these have lifelike expressions and clothing of ancient eras.

That Buddha looks like 'Jabba the Hut' :-)
LOVING your photos Arturo!!! x
hi Kai
maybe that was Spielberg's inspiration for his character. ha! actually historically that sculpture represents a monk that lived in the 14th century.
hi Anon, thanks! this is a beautiful country with a lot of cultural richness.
cheers,
Arturo
OMG Arturo you must be in heaven with all these new places to explore that are so lovely and filled with beautiful things to look at.
Thanks for the great photos
Rita
Great photos... so wish I could see all that in person! The statues are hilarious and kind of creepy. They definitely look like they're all engaged in conversation.
I also love the round doorways, wish I had one of those in my backyard!
hi Rita, yes! you're welcome.
hi Liz, they look like a council of sages, maybe like our own council of yoga advisors? hehe. i think you could do a round trellis in your backyard as a support for beautiful wisteria, which grows there.
hugs

Wow those are some amazing photos!
hi Matt
thanks!
cheers,
Arturo
Hi,
I was browsing the internet and by chance I came across your interesting blog. I was particularly interested to learn that you regularly write about buddhism and yoga.
I thought of getting in touch, since you and your readers may be interested in "Stillness Buddy", a software application I've just launched last week.
Stillness Buddy helps people to remain mindful of the present moment, relaxed and at peace, while working at the computer.
It works by displaying short "moments of stillness" and longer "mindfulness pauses", interspersed during the day. These breaks are designed to be very brief, so that they don't interfere with work. You can choose their duration and frequency, to suit your preferences and schedule.
By regularly practising the stillness and mindfulness exercises presented during the breaks, Stillness Buddy quickly and effectively helps to:
* Cultivate a deep sense of peace and stillness in your every day life.
* Remain in touch with the joy and love that you are.
* Be more relaxed in your body, less tense.
* Work in a more mindful, alert and stress-free manner
* Live more and more in the present moment
Stillness Buddy is for those of us who want to be more at peace and aware of the present moment, in the midst of our busy lives. It is also a great tool if you want to feel less tense and stressed. It is suitable for people of all walks of life, regardless of their spiritual practice or religious background.
You can find more about Stillness Buddy and download a 30-day free trial, at https://www.stillnessbuddy.com
If you like the application, would you be able to review it on your blog? I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me to spread the word.
In return, I'd be happy to provide you with a free, licensed copy of Stillness Buddy and to arrange a special discount for your readers, when they mention your name.
Also, I am setting up an affiliate program, which should be ready in about a month, which may be of interest to you too.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Hector
