Dambulla is the largest and best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka. The rock towers 160 m over the surrounding plains. There are more than 80 documented caves in the surrounding area. Major attractions are spread over five caves, which contain statues and paintings. These paintings and statues are related to Gautama Buddha and his life. There are a total of 153 Buddha statues, three statues of Sri Lankan kings and four statues of gods and goddesses. The latter include Vishnu and the Ganesha. The murals cover an area of 2,100 square metres (23,000 sq ft). Depictions on the walls of the caves include the temptation by the demon Mara, and Buddha's first sermon.

Gautam Buddha at Peace Pagoda Darjeeling!
Peace Pagoda, Darjeeling or Darjeeling Peace Pagoda is one of the Peace Pagodas designed to provide a focus for people of all races and creeds to help unite them in their search for world peace. It is located in the town of Darjeeling in the Indian state of West Bengal. Like most of the other Peace Pagodas, it was built under the guidance of Nichidatsu Fujii (1885–1985), a Buddhist monk from Japan and founder of the Nipponzan-Myōhōji Buddhist Order.

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.

In the viewing halls outside of Phaisan Thaksin Throne Hall inside Bangkok's Grand Palace complex lies rows of golden Buddha statues. Although at a glance they all look similar, no two are the same.
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. :)
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
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.
The religion's founder, Buddha, is considered an extraordinary being, but not a god. The word Buddha means “enlightened.” The path to enlightenment is attained by utilizing morality, meditation and wisdom. Buddhists often meditate because they believe it helps awaken truth.

The Big Buddha is a large bronze sculpture of Buddha, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, near Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island, Hong Kong.
The sculpture's base is a model of the one in the United Kingdom. One of the five large Buddha images in China, it is enthroned on a lotus on top of a three-platform altar. Surrounding it are six smaller bronze images known as "The Offering of the Six Devas" that are posed offering flowers, incense, lamp, ointment, fruit, and music to the Buddha, representing the Six Perfections of generosity, morality, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom, necessary for Enlightenment in life.
The 34 m (112 ft) tall image weighs over 250 metric tons (280 short tons), and was constructed from 202 bronze pieces. In addition to the exterior components, there is a strong steel framework inside to support the heavy load. Visitors have to climb 268 steps to reach the Buddha. The Buddha's right hand is raised, representing the removal of affliction, while the left rests open on his lap in a gesture of generosity.

Buddha Shakyamuni
1500 - 1600, Ming dynasty, cast and gilded bronze
Shakyamuni was the historical Buddha, born as an Indian prince in about 485 BC. This figure represents the crucial moment in his life when he asked the earth to bear witness that he had resisted the attacks of Mara, the goddess of evil. His right hand extends downward to touch the soil, a symbolic gesture known as chudiyin (bhumisparsha mudra).
Buddha Garden will be back on June 4th!
