Lamium amplexicaule, a popular spring wildflower of the mint family, is called 'Hotokenoza’ (Buddha's seat) in Japanese, since its foliage reminds us of Buddha's lotus seat. In the viewfinder it looked as if little Buddhas were standing upon their seats and looking around the world.
Lamium amplexicaule (henbit or henbit dead-nettle) is a winter annual herb native to Eurasia and northern Africa, and has spread around the world, including Japan, probably with agriculture.

Beim Dhyani Buddha liegen beide Hände im Schoß. Der rechte Handrücken liegt auf der linken Handfläche. Die Daumen berühren sich und formen das mystische Dreieck. Diese Geste steht für die Meditation und für Weisheit.

Quinta dos Loridos, where the impressive Buddha Eden - the largest oriental garden in Europe, can be found. The oriental garden with around 35 hectares of land was created as a reaction to the destruction of the Buddhas of Banyan, in which one of the greatest acts of cultural barbarity took place, erasing masterpieces of late-period Gandhara art.

Buddhadarstellungen unterscheiden sich in der Körperhaltung. Dabei symbolisiert jede Körperhaltung etwas anderes. Dies hier ist die Geste der Wunschgewährung. Die offenen fünf Finger stehen für die fünf Perfektionen: Moral, Geduld, Fleiß, Großzügigkeit und meditative Versenkung. Die Geste symbolisiert das Versprechen Buddhas allen Menschen den Weg zur Erlösung zu zeigen.

The Laughing Buddha is a new addition to the garden. He more or less jumped into my shopping cart at the garden centre and insisted on going home with me. Upon his arrival in the garden he immediately made new freinds, among them a certain fluffy Dragon. :)
The Leshan Giant Buddha is the largest stone Buddha in the world, standing at 71 meters (233 feet) tall. The statue was built between 713 and 803 and is carved out of a cliff face of Cretaceous red sandstone. The Buddha is impressive to view from the bottom, and even more impressive when viewed from the top.
Reclining Buddhas are commonplace in Thailand and also here in Laos.
A reclining Buddha is an image that represents Buddha lying down and is a major iconographic theme in Buddhist art. It represents the historical Buddha during his last illness, about to enter the parinirvana. He is lying on his right side, his head resting on a cushion or relying on his right elbow, supporting his head with his hand.
This pattern seems to have emerged at the same time as other representations of the Buddha in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara.

At the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple once more... Each time a visit to the temple my luck seems to turn around with unexpected windfall. Looks like it's a blessing when I capture their images. Hopefully those who view it will be blessed with luck as well. The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple stands out as a tourist attraction down town in the heart Chinatown.
