06 Mar 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…

Posted at 10:24h, 26 DecemberI’m interested in putting this image on my wall for personal use. I’d like to make it really big. It totally delights me.
How do I go about it??
Best,
