Serene smile

I’m not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination, but the serene smile I managed to capture on the priest below leads me to believe that he might just be on to something.

Buddhist priest

Either that or he’s just found out how much money is in his temple’s offering box.

    I think he just looks naive.

    This doesn’t look very serene to me 🙂

    I once met a priest in a small temple in South Korea that had a very serene look. Just looking at his eyes made my fears go away… magic!
