There are little gems of light in the midst of the decay. Off to visit a temple with a relic of the Buddha later today.

That first photo is typical of the decay. People are trickling in for the Zen Buddhist pilgrimage. I'm picking up my teacher at the airport tonight.

When discussing community, Ānanda, the Buddha's attendant, once said to the Buddha:
"Half of the holy life is good friendship"
The Buddha rebuked Ānanda, responding:
"Do not say such a thing Ānanda. Good friendship is not half the holy life, it is *all* of the holy life"
