Mind

There was a teenage girl who always gave food to a monk everyday at the temple. One day she got pregnant. Her parents asked her `who' and she pointed at the monk. They were furious and asked the monk if he did it. He only answered - Is that so? The girl later delivered the baby and her parents took the baby to the monk and demanded him to take care of it. After all it was his fault. The monk looked after the baby. Weeks went by and the girl couldn't take it anymore. She confessed to her parents that the father wasn't the monk but was the butcher's son who gave her the meat to take to the monk. Her parents felt remorse and apologised to the monk. He just said - Is that so? Moral of the story: You are in control of your own thoughts. Don't let circumstances take over your condition. Nobody can hurt you if you know how to control your thoughts and not let it control you.

Tricia, this is a most telling image in view of the fact that Buddhist monks have been at the vanguard of the largest anti-regime protests that Myanmar has seen in almost 20 years.

Not really excited by the story :-), but shot is excellent. Love deep shadows here and their concentration on something outside the reality of the shot.
