The Arts
Description
This album Aba Through a Monk’s Eyes is a storybook in which monk and photographer Yongdan tells stories of Aba through his lens. Knowing that the external thoughts in the world and man’s inner thoughts are emptiness, Yongdan realizes that the affectionate magnificent world and the fervent real life are not mirages. His obsession with photography originates from his complete enlightenment in life and death, from his mercy towards and love of all the living creatures. Perhaps we can understand it in this way – photography is his second language and he is chanting sutras with his lens. In the final analysis, photography is Yongdan’s practice of Buddhism in another way.
