another appearances of the thousand bells

Art Some lovely images of The Temple of a Thousand Bells have now also been licensed by Getty Images which has sent them global. The Huffington Post has posted some enormous versions which have since turned up linked on the likes of Tweetmeme.

I've also found another appearances of the thousand bells or at least the accompanying parable. It was included by the priest Anthony de Mello S. J. in his book The Song of the Bird, which is linked here, and begins at the bottom of page seven.

The version in Belem's piece is longer and more poetic and from what I remember has a happier ending but it seems to be one of the classic parables used in sermons when talking about faith and belief and glimpsing God, which just confirms that it's in the right setting.
