"Karmic Cranes" Photo By Kelsey Shanesy, Macalester College, Japan Program38 viewsThese strings of origami cranes showed the dedication and patience of the Buddhist worshiper. The cranes are given as offerings at temples, and help to increase the karmic merit of the worshipper. The bright colors of the cranes stand in gorgeous juxtaposition to the simplicity of Japanese architecture.

"Chad River Puja" Photo By Josh Fouse, Stanford University, India Program34 viewsThe members of this Zen temple were dressed to the nines in order to celebrate the instillation of the newest abbot at Ryogonji temple. The elegance of these women matched the generosity they showed in helping us feel at home and in honoring the new abbot. Although the ceremony itself was long and intricate, the party that followed showed us a whole other side to the lives of Buddhist monks.

"Rupees or Peace" Photo By Kristina Johnson, Davidson College, India Program40 viewsI’m still not sure whether the peace sign this little girl gave me meant the same thing to me as it did to her. Yet, it seemed so fitting given her nose ring. Rings of this type weren’t common in the Bihar region where I was. She likely traveled to Bodh Gaya from elsewhere.

"Unity in Purpose" Photo By Kelsey Shanesy, Macalester College, Japan Program42 viewsI took this photo on a retreat to Hokyoji Zen Monastery. It depicts a group of monks and students preparing to go out on a round of takuhatsu, or exchange of monetary funds for karmic merit. Upon leaving the temple, the group bows to and shows respect to all directions.
