Hurtigruten Day 10

"We visited the Nidaros Cathederal early this morning---almost nobody was there which gave it a completely different feeling from when we were first here. I realized how much "religious" art has a draw for me---it would be interesting to work with this "medieval" style and bring it into Buddhist styles of art."

"Whether you realize it or not, whatever you do, your action leaves behind a kind of smell in the depth of human life. we have to take responsibility for our behavior, whatever it is, good or bad, right or wrong, because even though our actions disappear from the surface of life, the smell of what we have done is still there as unmanifested karma."

-Katagiri, p. 187-
