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. :)
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.
