Another from Daishoin
Daishoin dragon
One of my favorite temple experiences in Japan was Daishoin on Miyajima. In large part this was because it was raining a bit, and I had the whole place to myself.
Footprint of the Buddha
仏足跡
Bet you didn’t know the Buddha had a swastika on each toe. Well he did, at least before WWII, and still in parts of Japan where the swastika doesn’t have the negative image it has earned nearly everywhere else in the world.
Believers are encouraged to take their shoes off, stand on the Buddha’s footprints, say a few words, and get lucky. This is found at Miyajima’s Daishoin.
A year ago…
Forest Park (Portland, Oregon)

Pacific Grove
I have been going to the Monterey / Pacific Grove / Pebble Beach / Carmel area of California since the time I was born. I did tours there in the early 1990s. I haven’t been there much in the past 15 years, maybe only three or four times. However, the beauty of the place is always shocking to me.
This past Thursday morning’s visit provided a different experience as there was no one there. We could park wherever we wanted and stroll without any crowds. This made things even better.
