The white man’s grave

[ArtphotoasiA]

Hello forum!

Here some shoot done in a famous Chinese Buddhist temple in the island of Penang in Malaysia that in the old time was called “white man’s grave” because the malaria problem.

The island’s history is fascinating so I probably expected too much. The city of Georgetown/Penang is chaotic and smelly with cars stuck in traffic anywhere. The pollution is unsustainable and can barely breathe.

Honestly I always feeling spooky seeing Buddhist Temple, because it's always present in all Chinese and Thailand Horror Films. On the other hand I love the teachings of Buddha, it made me think of converting to other religion.

The interesting point is that is not a religion but a way of life.

There is not the presumption to know the right God!
the presumption to be the only one right an don the right way entitled to force others to think in the same way.

Aha! Thanks for clarifying. All I know it's a religion. ehehe ...
I like the teachings of Buddha. I used to read a book from Buddhist writer, and he able to present the ideas of Buddha is a very impressive way.
