2 Photos from Stephen Batchelor in India

By Tricycle

I received the below photos from Stephen Batchelor this morning, which he took while leading the 2011 Tricycle “In the Footsteps of the Buddha” Pilgrimage to India, which came to an end on February 7th. I hear it was a wonderful trip.

The first photo is of the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya and the second is of some trash in water. Is this pairing a profound commentary on the state of Buddhism and the modern world? You decide!

Tricycle is the leading independent journal of Buddhism in the West, where it continues to be the most inclusive and widely read vehicle for the dissemination of Buddhist views and values. By remaining unaffiliated with any particular teacher, sect, or lineage, Tricycle provides a public forum for exploring Buddhism and its dialogue with the broader culture.
