Parinirvana Shrine

A beautiful shrine for a beautiful evening reflecting on the Buddha's physical death, his teachings on impermanence, and loved ones that we have lost.
​Thank you, Padmasara, for evoking the scene of the Buddha's Parinirvana, with the Buddha lying between two trees, on the forest floor, white petals falling on him, his disciples around him. And for leading us in meditation and puja.
Thank you, Mark, for the photo.
​Apologies for the missing blog - the title ' What is spiritual death?' without the content! Somehow what I wrote didn't get published. So perhaps it's for us all to reflect on for ourselves...
