Last year, we visited the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas—an enormous Buddhist center of worship, monasticism and education, and the first of its kind in the Western Hemisphere—in Ukiah, California. Perhaps to reinforce the spiritual atmosphere of the community, live peacocks festooned the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas. They pranced their way amongst the surroundings, crossing pathways and blocking doors with impunity. This photograph highlights the surreal combination of the old-fashioned, wooden doorway and the peacock’s regal plumage, decked in full splendor.

…You Are Our Business Model!

More people are reading India Currents than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organizations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Our independent, community journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $5, you can support us – and it takes just a moment to give via PayPal or credit card.
