witness in the night...

Enlightenment is the realization that there are no "things", there is no "you", there is no "them". In essence realizing everything you have have been taught or told in your life is a lie at the highest levelYou see through out your life your family, friends, teachers and society have programed you to identify objects name them and perceive them as separate entities from yourself and the universe. That isn't true. There are no "things".

For Buddhish people, Enlightment of Buddha it is a huge ceremony at night...here in Thailand, Tibet and another countries, the Enlightment it is celebrate tonight for millions of thai and monks from the city and mountains...
this is not one more turistic attraction... this place it is sacred and secret at the same time... no guests, only "locals"...
The cold night still running, I'm taken thousands of pictures like a crazy...and I just realize that in the middle of thousands of people walking , singing and burning incense... I'm the only blond western in here...
