I haven't watched it yet but plan to. I watched the trailer and several scenes jumped out to me, this one being the most obvious.

I was recently traveling and this popped up when signing into the United app. Before looking at the text, I thought Thailand because of the red, gold, bright colors and gold leaf. But it's Japan, Kaminarimon Gate of Sensō-ji, a famous Buddhist temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan

From our Baker reading "When body and mind have exhausted their capacity for consciously directed dramatic expression, one rests in a state of lucid relaxation, corresponding to the śavāsana, or ‘corpse’ pose, of haṭhayoga." Favorite part of yoga. (I know it's not the same LOL)

Just in case anyone had an interest in Buddha Gems - Sotheby's will be selling them in May 2025.

Historical Buddha's Relics for Auction at Sotheby's: The Piprahwa Gems.

Some pics from my trip to Japan a couple of years ago - this is the Kiyomizu Dera Temple.

Found this map that helped with dates/locations of the spread of Buddhism via silk/lotus road. Seems to be consistent with lecture.

From my GEOG 230 class - Geographic Perspectives on Human-Environment Systems.

Thought this was an interesting parallel to class.
