[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a detail of a pavilon of the memorial park of Kőrösi-Csoma Sándor. The park with its stupa (the first one in Central and Eastern Europe)was visited by the Dala Lama. Here there is a brief summary of Kőrösi, a permanent photo exhibition about the lamaism, in another pavilon you can see the proof of the cultural link to the huns, once deemed to be the ancient hungarian, a place to offer up a sacrifice. In hte stupe there is a pray-mill symbol of endless heartthrobbing of the world, send millions of mantras (sacred words) to make the world happier.
This great hungarian orientalist, the compiler of the first hindi-english dictionary, a real Indaiana Jones. He went east to Asia to find the cultural links of the Hungarian origin. And his work as a scientist is very respected not just in Hungary, because he was really open minded to other experiences (gastro-cultural links, language relationships, effects of cultural heritage of the observed nations). He died in India, in Darjeeling in the 19th century.
This photo also shows me the interesting multicultural background of this nation (everytime in the centre of buffer zone), searching its origins, the cultural identity, belonging to the West but keeping connections with the East.
Hungary, incredible Hungary.

I think more shots from this curious place should be loaded up in TE. I consider this one as the first (and important) step.
