I found you site quite nice. Can I use some photos of yours here to be replicated in my book? Of course, I will be using some information that you have here. Hope you would care to reply me as early as possible. Dear Mr Craig,

It seems the more I have learned the more I have learned how much I still have left to learn, but that is the sheer beauty of *living* whilst alive.

I missed a lot over the past five days while I was off-line. I spent almost an hour going through your photos and wishing I could take just one that is half as good as yours. The commentary you provide adds to your passion and creativity. I hope it isn't too presumptuous to make a small suggestion. Is there a font available that won't deter from the beauty of your photographs? I enjoy reading your travel notes but I find the font a little difficult. I must be getting old or maybe I need glasses! Anyways, as usual you continue to blow me away. Way to go. I'm looking forward to the next fabulous series. Craig,

I grew up in Kaohsiung (my parents still live there) and have been to Foguanshan several times. But still, it is interesting to read some history about it here because I've never read anything about it like most locals! One of my most impressed visits to Foguanshan is a visit accompanying two American Buddhism researchers (one of them is my ex-bf) for a small seminar with their students. And that's what I mentioned in my comment on your Flickr stream that I had to get up at 4 to join their early morning chanting. OK. I was not following anything... though one of the nuns would point to the pamphlet where they were. But, a few lines later, I got lost again... Maybe I was too sleepy... :-p It seems to me that you are involved a lot with the Buddhist activities here and in India? I am ashamed that all my knowledge about Buddhism actually came more from my foreign friends!! :-P Thanks for sharing your experience and of course the beautiful photos as well!! Have a nice evening!
