#hwc111 best part of the lesson was actually the shadow puppetry. so beautiful and raw - people have been enjoying this for centuries? wow

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

@nicolecxxxg #hwc111 just a thought - did the creators mean for these artifacts to last centuries? how much did these mean to them?

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

@nicolecxxxg #hwc111 all the statues here all have faces that depict gentleness and benevolence - down-looking and quiet/tightlipped

@Christoh111 #hwc111 It comes from the late 10th–early 11th century from the Angkor period in Cambodia #Angkor

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

#hwc111 #angkor I particularly like this statue a lot - different from other grand forms of deities, and depicts an elegant side of deities

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

#hwc111 #khmer atypical from other statues, the Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion is depicted here as graceful, understanding, and at ease.

#hwc111 Q6 - Battuta's detailed descriptions and observations really seems like a modern-day travel blog - imagine if he had instagram!!

#hwc111 Q3 - Dar al-Islam embraces & focuses a huge deal on the grandeur & details of their architecture - relating to their faith & lives

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

The story of St. Francis' way of serving God through his own life is always inspiring and admirable, especially in today's context. #hwc111

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

@W_S_RL I would not deny theft - but to him all worldly possessions are nothing compared to his faith. Just trying to undst what he thought!

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

@ChoccoFondu #hwc111 I think Francis didn't care much abt creating an order or evangelization - but to spread faith by example and his life

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

@W_S_RL #hwc111 would it help if you saw it as that all he wanted to do was serve God, and that was the best way he could give the most?

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

#hwc111 to be free of all worldly possessions - I think it's something we deem impossible today - but what does it mean for us abstractly?

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

I undst how it may seem irrational to do and give thanks all in God's name - but as a Catholic, St. Francis fully encapsulates faith #hwc111

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

for St. Francis, he did not see poverty as undesirable - but a holy and crucial part to faith. Giving is to receive. #hwc111

[Christopher Toh @Christoh111]

what's amazing about St. Francis is that it was his piety, humility, and sheer faith attracted followers and believers. #hwc111
