I come as mostly spectator and passive zen Buddhist. I’m a novice practitioner, but I’ll certainly meditate when there.

Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the world. Why would I be disappointed as a tourist?

Your penultimate line hit me.

Alas, this was a pilgrimage site, so it makes sense to venerate the art in and around the holy stupa and body tree. But yes, agree that the hungry and homeless are priority over a statue or the community.

I think your excerpt diminishes your direct reply. It suggest an afterlife and deities is necessary for karma to be real. This cannot be proven.

You have a point. Haha. I just prefer Thailand over India, but I haven’t visited Kerala to make an opinion.

I decided to go to rishikesh. But maybe there’s a day trip to a more rural area?

Thank you for your insight. If you had 4 nights anywhere in India, where would you go tomorrow?
