Burma- Nirvana- Come as you are

 As familiar as Jesus on the cross, ubiquity, though, has voided  Siddhartha, aka Buddha Boy  of mystery and meaning.
Smile and the world is yours-

For stylistic simplicity makes it all too easy to miss the refinements of expression that convey the essence of Buddhist cosmology.  no fairy tales of salvation or a paradisiacal afterlife, no cosmic drama,  no creation myths. No pomp, just circumstances.

About to step on dry land, and slip not only into the 14th century but also the slip into the zero experience, an  awareness of the insignificance of our prosaic wants and passions, as I see first hand the locals recreate "The Human Condition"  like some backdrop to a movie set.
