Rollercoaster monks
It seems meditation isn’t the only way to get up into the air, although one can’t rule out that these Buddhist monks aren’t actually—heavily disguised as fun park patrons—practicing their asanas:
“The postures that a Buddhist deity assumes in a sculpture or painting are known as asanas.”
—Mudras in Buddhism, Rev. Jnana, Zen Dharma Teacher
Whatever the intent there seems little doubt they are having a jolly good time.
Super-sized fun even, albeit probably not hair-raising…

I’ve always thought of rollercoasters as a great way to “deal with worries and other links” too
Thanks for stopping by Tejvan.
