These lovely monks were visiting Sydney after attending a world Buddhist convention in Tasmania. They were relaxing and taking photos of each other in front of the opera house.

We got chatting with Venerable Anurudha (pictured) and Venerable Kaset who told us about theBuddhist Centrenear Sydney where Venerable Kaset lives and works.

In the beginning there was The Tao - the great unknowable mystery.
The Tao gave rise to Yin & Yang. Yin & Yang gave rise to the Ten Thousand Things.
The Tao is like a well: used but never used up.
It is like the eternal universe: filled with infinite possibilities.
In dwelling, - live close to the ground. In thinking, - keep to the simple. In conflict, - be fair and generous. In governing, - don't try to control. In work, - do what you enjoy. In family life, - be completely present. In love, - don't jump to quick conclusions...
I never tire of photographing monks. So exotic
