Taken on May 23, 2015 in Kandy, Sri Lanka
I’m back from Sri Lanka, with lots of photos and experiences. Above is a picture taken at the Temple of the Tooth, a.k.a. Sri Dalada Maligawa. This temple is an important site for many Buddhists as it houses a relic in the form of one of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha’s teeth.

Welcome back. I find myself wondering what Siddhartha Gautama Buddha would have had to say about the building of such a place to house one of his teeth.

My guess would be something like, “Did you not listen to a word I’ve said. You’ve missed the point entirely.” But that’s just me. But I’m sure it wouldn’t be nearly as harsh a rebuke as to the people at a Bangkok temple (Erawan, I believe) a few years back who beat a clinically insane man to death because he vandalized one of the sculptures. That’s missing the point on a truly colossal scale.
