Gave 2 more of our small, cute #Buddha#statues a Spring makeover. All were plain gray cement before we painted them gold. They look much better - golden! One in each #succulents planters😊 Sitting on our front porch steps.
This is another one of our smaller #Buddha statues. We painted it gold. We have multiple Buddha statues of various sizes, all over our front & back gardens. We practice Taoism but also adopted a lot of Buddhist practices - they tend to interconnect with many crossovers.
Wishing you all more peace & quiet, beautiful & soul-filled moments in life 💗❤️💗
Dieser #Buddha stammt vermutlich aus der Kaschmirregion.

Ein Hinweis für die weiten Vernetzungen der Handelslinien des frühmittelalterlichen #Skandinavien. Die kleine #Jadefigur stammt aus dem 6. Jahrhundert und wurde in einem Grab im #Schweden gefunden.
Da ist die Frage, wo kamen die #Wikinger eigentlich ursprünglich her? Wie sind sie entstanden? Gar nicht so leicht zu beantworten. Ich habe es trotzdem versucht: https://www.miss-jones.de/2021/05/07/woher-kamen-die-wikinger/
A remarkably well preserved 2nd century CE Stucco head of #Buddha from the ancient region of #Gandhara#Afghanistan which has defied exposure to the elements of nature (hence very rare) from the Richard C Blum & Senator Dianne Feinstein Collection of #Himalayan#Art will be on Bonhams auction on 20th March estimate $30,000 - $50,000
"When we see so much suffering, we have a chance to practice compassion. When people disturb us or are angry with us, it gives us a chance to practice patience. In this way, if we can apply the teachings to our everyday life, then wherever we are, at work or at home, we can use our experiences and surroundings to practice the Dharma." - Kyabgon Gongma Trichen Rinpoche #Buddha#Dharma@dharma
“Out of the bosom of the Air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.”
Sincere questions are also invited; DM me (there is also a live chat server explained at the above link), for perhaps answering on a future livestream.
The recorded video will be posted later (non-live) here: https://bhikkhu.ca/
This Buddha statue is crafted from durable sandstone and showcases the Namaskar Mudra, which symbolizes humility and unity through clasped hands at the chest.
The fifth is about mindful consumption, to help us not bring toxins and poisons into our body or mind. https://plumvillage.org/mindfulness/the-5-mindfulness-trainings
Aware of the suffering caused by unmindful consumption, I am committed to cultivating good health, both physical and mental, for myself, my family, and my society by practicing mindful eating, drinking, and consuming.
