  • “Holy Land” in Twenty Eighteen

    in ,

    7 years have passed since the photos in Holy Land were taken. Few positive changes can be found on the ground… if not the other way around.

  • Peace with the Earth

    in ,

    True to its roots as a place for inter-faith dialogue between Buddhists and Christians, Tao Fong Shan remains to be a quiet retreat among the busyness of Hong Kong, welcoming pilgrims of all faiths, to converse, to reflect, and to gain a deeper meaning of life. Founded by Norwegian missionary Karl Ludvig Reichelt in 1930, it is now…

  • The Story Behind “Holy Land”
