still thoughts





"How does the dhamma teach the proper way of life?
It shows us how to live.
It has many ways of showing it -
on roots or trees or just in front of you.
It is a teaching but not in words.
So still the mind, the heart, and learn to watch.
You'll find the whole dhamma revealing itself here and now.
At what other time and place are you going to look?"
-Ajahn Chah

Last Sunday, Long Shen (a fellow dhamma classmate who also enjoys shooting) and I were shooting around Santavana for more calendar pics on shi fu's request. Although the three friends in the woods (refer previous post) shot some awesome pics, some spots were missed. so Shi fu handed us a small list of places to shoot and we "continued" and roamed around for a bit. The pic with Chan Xiao shi fu facing a bamboo was shot by Long Shen. The plant pics are actually from the same potted plant in the library.
