A place to live

This is the place we have inhabited for almost five years now, the place from where I have watched the fading light slowly give way to the silent night

At night, there's only the steady rush of rain

Rained quite a lot last night, with ankle-deep water in front of the building. Splashed through water. Got wet. :))

The Buddha in Nalanda

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. Do not believe anything because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything because it is written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and the benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
