It has been quite
a few decades since anyone has told me to “go to hell!’ But some time ago I actually
went there on my own accord. My brother who
lives in France, his family and I, were travelling through Provence and we
ended up in Val d’Enfer, the Valley of Hell. It is not just the
strangely-shaped rocks in the vicinity that gives this place its creepy name
but also the vast, labyrinthal underground quarry which has been mined since
Roman times. Where the light penetrates, the great halls appear white giving the impression of ice, an impression
reinforced by the subterranean cold. In other places it is all darkness and shadows. Away from the first several halls where most
of the visitors are it is dead quiet and solitary – everything you would need
for hell except heat. On the Buddhist concept of hell see http://www.buddhisma2z.com/content.php?id=328

Please check this tagline about buddhist art:

Buddhist monk Jason Chan has been wandering the east coast of Australia since 2011 barefoot and carrying nothing but his robe and alms bowl.
The Buddha said celebrity 'is poison to wisdom'
So the monk Chan, won't let himself be photographed or his voice recorded.
Dear Bhante, as you have mentioned Ajanta before, let me just give you this interesting link here:

good day bhante, I've got no idea on how to contact you. I came across one proselytizing article http://kurauking.blogspot.com/2014/10/what-do-you-call-dharma-in-islam.html
perhaps you may want to enlighten the blogger on what Dhamma as in the Buddhist sense really mean. His articles on Buddhism is really misleading.
Dear Reflective Pen you can contact me at pitijoy@yahoo.com
