Ven Bhikkhu Bodhi, who leads Buddhist Global Relief, is a renowned translator of the Pali Canon and frequent contributor to Parabola and many other magazines and journals. Here he poses for a photo after a meeting of Occupy Faith inside the sanctuary of the Fourth Universalist Society (Central Park West and 76th St.).

When I explained I wanted to photograph him for a project having to do with open hands and the UN effort to pass an Arms Trade Treaty he readily agreed.

This image of the Buddhist monk and others will be projected behind live dancers next Thursday, July 26th at 6PM at the Church Center for the UN (E. 44th St. and 1st Ave, directly across the street from the UN).
