EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Pascal Deloche, we are transported to the serene and spiritual world of Bongeunsa temple in South Korea. The image showcases a profound Buddhist ceremony for the dead, where devotees gather to honor and remember their departed loved ones. The atmosphere is filled with reverence as monks and laypeople alike participate in this sacred ritual. Clad in traditional robes, they pay homage at the intricately adorned altar, offering prayers and incense as a symbol of respect for those who have passed on. The flickering candles cast a gentle glow upon their faces, reflecting both sorrowful remembrance and unwavering faith. Amidst the tranquil surroundings of the monastery, one can sense an air of deep spirituality that permeates every aspect of this ceremony. A woman stands gracefully amidst her fellow worshippers, her expression conveying a blend of devotion and contemplation. Water flows gently from a nearby fountain, symbolizing purification and renewal. This powerful visual encapsulates not only Buddhism's rich heritage but also its enduring message of compassion and interconnectedness. It serves as a poignant reminder that life is transient yet deeply meaningful; it urges us to embrace our mortality while cherishing each precious moment we have been granted. Pascal Deloche's skillful lens has beautifully captured this momentous occasion at Bongeunsa temple – an image that invites viewers to reflect on life's impermanence while finding solace within the depths of faith.
