Ventured inside the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, Tibet. I stepped through a time portal, sent back hundreds of years in time. Weaving around the devout souls hypnotized in with worship. Once inside I could smell something very distinct but not common here but unusual for me. The burning of Yak butter oil lamps permeated the air. The soft, diffused light from the lamps created an atmosphere like I had certainly stepped through an inter-dimensional gateway, to another world, another time. There was an old Lama in the centre and somewhere around 60 Tibetan Monks sitting around him. I would discover that all the crowds I had encountered inside and outside the temple were due to the fact that this was an important Lama, who was in the house to give special service. One that I was now involved in without intention. Story of my life. - Terry J Hodgkinson #lhasa #jokhangtemple #tibet #buddhism #timetravel #wanderingninja #terryhodgkinson (at Jokhang)

Almost 20 years ago I rode a motorcycle through Vietnam, the entire country. Here I’m wandering through the extensive network of underground tunnels know as the Vinh Moc Tunnels near the DMZ in Central Vietnam. These tunnels were less used for combat unlike the Cu Chi Tunnels near Ho Chi Minh City. This extensive tunnel system were more for living in to protect village communities from the ravaging war above. Some people who lived in the never stepped outside for many years, only living underground. 17 babies were born underground during the war, they too wouldn’t see the light of day for years until the war was over. www.TaoJourneys.com #vietnam #vietnamtunnels #terryhodgkinson #wanderingninja (at Vinh Moc Tunnels - Địa Đạo Vịnh Mốc)

Here I am exploring one of the stone spheres in Costa Rica. There are an assortment of over three hundred petrospheres located on the Diquís Delta and on Isla del Caño. Locally, they are known as Las Bolas (literally The Balls). The spheres are commonly attributed to the extinct Diquís culture and are sometimes referred to as the Diquís Spheres. They are the best-known stone sculptures of the Isthmo-Colombian area. They are thought to have been placed in lines along the approach to the houses of chiefs, but their exact significance remains uncertain. #costarica #terryhodgkinson #wanderingninja (at Costa Rica)

The Thar Desert in Rajasthan, India. Such an amazing place to travel around by camel and sleep under a million stars at night. www.TaoJourneys.com #India #travel #wanderingninja #terryhodgkinson

“One of his students asked Buddha, "Are you the messiah?" "No", answered Buddha. "Then are you a healer?" "No", Buddha replied. "Then are you a teacher?" the student persisted. "No, I am not a teacher." "Then what are you?" asked the student, exasperated. "I am awake" Buddha replied." #buddha #wisdom #martialarts #terryhodgkinson #wanderingninja #chungfu #temple (at Chung Fu Martial Arts Meditation)

Years ago I was doing a training down in Mexico and after I had the chance to meet and was greeted by my friends in the ocean. #dolhins #amazingexperience #greatful #unforgettable #wanderingninja

An adorable little wanderer and one of my first followers told me I should name my bike Zapdos because of the decals.  The name stuck, and I decided to have a decal made just because it was her that suggested it!  If you see that guy right there, then you've spotted me!
