Twilight has Arrived

At that moment, coming from the East, Lord Surya, mounted on his crystal chariot pulled by a thousand stallions, skirted Mount Meru, axis of the world, and went to the West following the circle of the constellations. When the chariot turned and was hidden by the enormous mountain, the Lord’s brilliant light dimmed and came the twilight.

Think For Yourself

Though you might listen to your elders or the experts, still, do pull yourself up and stretch your thinking.
King Sri Dhammaraja of Cambodia (1629–1634)
