The Monk Who Renounced Possessions - a photo on Flickriver

“There are only two kinds of freedom in the world; the freedom of the rich and powerful, and the freedom of the artist and the monk who renounces possessions”
(Anais Nin quotes - French born American Author, 1903-1977)

This Tibetan monk was walking towards the Mahabodhi Temple's shrine in Bodh Gaya, where Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, attained enlightenment.
