A nice follow up to the announcement about Phil Taylor’s edited collection on religion in Vietnam …

Here is another nice juxtaposition of images from Leif Jonsson. Both are from Hanoi – one from the entry hall of the Women’s Museum and the other from a Catholic church.

Leif’s previous contribution, also on a religious theme, is available here. I detect a hint of irreverence in Leif’s work, but am happy to reserve judgement!

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
