To save all sentient beings, though beings are numberless.
To penetrate reality, though reality is boundless.
To transform all delusion, though delusions are immeasurable.
To attain the enlightened way, a way non-attainable.

These were some pictures I took about three weeks ago in Stephens State Park, which is near my home in the mountains of northern New Jersey. My kids and I hike around here every Sunday afternoon. Probably nothing like what people picture when they think of NJ, but this is home...
(The pic I use for my avatar was taken by my 5 year old the same day, in a sort of wigwam someone had built near one of the less used trails.)

I'm still just starting to learn. I'm not a teacher. Please don't take anything I say too seriously. I already take myself too seriously!
went to do the dishes lastnight, set the water to run, gathered up some stray coffee cups and came back, found these... had to take a pic of it.

Some overtly Buddhist examples from various trips to Taiwan:
I'm finding a great deal in common between Zen practice and candid street photography. It is a very meditative state on the street, a weird calm balance between openness to your surroundings, what you want to express, technical considerations, and luck. A weird meeting of analytic and synthetic - which you have to both hold, but not too tight. At some point I may write something up on the topic.
And then other times, I just like taking pictures of "things"
Anyway, I could go on... and on... and on... photography and Buddhism are my main kicks these days!!
