AJ's Buddhas - [ New Picture Added!! ]

Post by Still Searching »

I have many Buddha statues/ornaments, I will take some pictures and share them with you all after Christmas, possibly the 26th or the 27th so keep looking back at this thread for updates.

Here is 2 of them so far.
It's a candle holder with Buddha meditating next to a lotus flower

This one is made out of wood (dunno what kind)

I will upload more soon after Christmas.
I'm really sorry the pictures are so small and not good quality, I'll try and make them larger & look better when I get more time.

Enjoy!

Nice photo, AJ!
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.
- Sutta Nipata 3.725

Particularly like the second
Blog, Suttas, Aj Chah, Facebook.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.
