Buddha's in a Field, Lumbini
Gardens Near Hpa An
![]() Approaching Lumbini Garden.
![]() ![]() The main gate
arch and a disinterested cashier. ‘Each
foreigner must donate (3) dollars’.
![]() From the gate this looked like a
fantastic photographic opportunity. 1121 Buddha’s in a
field. Mount Zwegabin at 2,372 feet and a monastery
(just visible) reached in two to four hours – or in our case guessing more like
eight. Aggressive monkeys on the many steps, no to that then....
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Up closer, we saw rubbish, overgrown, badly
maintained and crumbling chaps.
![]() Bear posing with the
boys.
ALL IN ALL SUCH AS SHAME THAT
THE GROUNDS ARE NOT WELL KEPT
WHAT A LOT OF BUDDHA’S PEERING OUT OF THE
GRASS |
