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.

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 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.
Amazing place for relaxing and take the artistic pictures.
