Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them at least don't hurt them. Love And Compassion Are Necessities, Not Luxuries. Without Them, Humanity Cannot Survive. – Dalai Lama DALAI LAMA #Buddhism #Meditation #Wisdom #love #Peace #Buddhisattvas

Katabori Netsuke with two skeleton figures boxwood circa 1701-1900 Japan #katabori #3D #netsuke #skeletonfigures #carved #handmade #boxwood #Japan #japanesecraft #mujō #anitya #impermanence #buddhism #buddhistart #mementomori #art #craft #antique #nothingispermanent #philosophy #death #culture

Katabori Netsuke with Two Skeleton Figures. Culture:
Japan, 1701-1900 (Edo- Meiji Period). Material: Wood (boxwood).
Collection: Science Museum Group
Collection, London.
The skeleton motif wasn't a random theme in netsuke art.
These figures symbolized mujõ (*##
7), one of the fundamental concepts of Buddhist philosophy, meaning the impermanence of all things. As one of the Three Marks of Existence in Buddhism, mujo comes from the Sanskrit word anitya and means that nothing is permanent. You can think of it as the Japanese counterpart to the Western concept of memento mori.

May all sentient beings be endowed with happiness! May they all be separated from suffering and its causes! May they be endowed with joy, free from suffering! May they abide in equanimity, free from attachment or aversion. #buddhism #love

Now that I have made this Bluesky we all share my only social media home, I thought it would be a lovely idea to create a starter pack for Buddhism/Meditation/Yoga. Please feel free to suggest more accounts for this starter pack. go.bsky.app/Tmrt5io #buddhism #meditation #yoga #zen #mindfulness

Here is a starter pack of accounts that post about Buddhism, Meditation and Yoga ;-)

In these turbulent times we need to take good care of each other and ourselves. We are all interconnected. 'If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.' -Buddha- #buddhism #art

Though Thailand is generally considered a Theravada Buddhist country, Hinduism has long played a prominent role. In reality, Thailand’s common "Buddhist" religion is a mixed bag of Buddhism, Hinduism, and spirit worship. #Thailand #buddhism #hinduism #erawanshrine #worship #prayer #dancer #religion

A Thai dancer clasps her hands together in a prayer-like fashion. She is dancing at the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok. The Erawan Shrine is a Hindu shrine in Bangkok, Thailand, that houses a statue of Phra Phrom, the Thai representation of the Hindu creation god Brahma. The dancers are paid not only to accompany present prayers but are also often hired in gratitude for an earlier favour that devotees believe the shrine granted before.

Happiness cannot be found through great effort and willpower but is already present, in open relaxation and letting go. Gendun Rinpoche, 20th century #photography #poetry #buddhism #hindu #spéirghorm #speirgorm #streetphotography #imageandverse #artofbluesky #photographersofbluesky #eastcoastkin

A sadhu (holy man) reclines majestically on his mat by the roadside as a stream of pilgrims flow by walking the 14 km circuit around the holy mountain of Arunachala at Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India.

His orange clothing represents renunciation, while the extensive necklaces (rudraksha beads) are traditionally worn by devotees of Lord Shiva.

Other items for worship or daily sustenance surround him including alms bowls, food, water, a conch shell and small lamps for rituals.
