Wacky spam for the day

Rico says that, every once in awhile, some spam floats into his in-box that's out of the ordinary. This is one of those few.
It's a series of photographs, being promoted by a photographer from Chennai in India, of the notable places in the life of the Buddha. Rather like, in Western terms, a photo journal of every place Jesus walked. (Someone's done that already; movies have been made of it, too.)
While more appealing to Rico than Jesus, the Buddha lived a lot of places that he wouldn't necessarily want to visit these days; India isn't Disneyland, you know.
But they do a nice job of decorating the significant places of his life, which is more than the Christians do in Bethlehem...

"The Buddha's last words were words of advice to his disciples, telling them to devote themselves to clearing their mind of all craving and strive for lasting happiness."
Rico says is it any wonder that he likes Buddha better?
