Meditating - a timeless practice that transcends cultures, religions, and centuries. From the bustling streets of Paris to the serene landscapes of Sri Lanka, meditation has been embraced by individuals seeking inner peace and spiritual enlightenment. In the heart of Paris, Thich Nhat Hanh leads a walking meditation, guiding his followers through the busy streets with mindful steps. Amidst the chaos, they find solace in their connection to the present moment. Briton Riviere's masterpiece "Christ in the Wilderness" depicts Jesus finding solitude in nature as he meditates on his divine purpose. The painting captures both his vulnerability and strength during this transformative period. Rembrandt's "Philosopher in Meditation" portrays a solitary figure lost deep within contemplation. With closed eyes and crossed hands, he delves into profound thoughts that transcend time itself. At Gal Vihara Rock Temple in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka, an ancient Buddha statue sits serenely amidst lush surroundings. Meditating for centuries on end, it emanates tranquility and wisdom to all who visit. In another sacred setting lies Jesus Praying in the Garden - an intimate moment captured before his crucifixion. His fervent prayers demonstrate how meditation can provide solace even during life's most challenging moments. Prajnaparamita stands tall as a symbol of Transcendental Wisdom carved from solid stone. This goddess embodies enlightenment attained through deep meditation practices passed down through generations. A weathered Buddha statue from 1790 silently witnesses countless souls seeking refuge at its feet. Its serene presence reminds us that true peace comes from within when we turn inward through meditation. The year is 1913; a couple finds harmony together as they meditate side by side. Their synchronized breaths create an unbreakable bond while exploring new depths within themselves and their relationship. Monks gather inside Zazen Hall for Za-Zen meditation - seated upright with focused minds and still bodies.
