Description

***
I've learned a great deal since my visit to the Buddhist Temple last Monday . The Internet is such a useful tool!
There are several types of Buddha statues. Each can be identified by its pose. This is the Blessing Buddha, which depicts Buddha bestowing fearlessness and compassion.

Hope you have a relaxing weekend!

Your composition of this very appealing image really ROCKS, Mary.
Framed by the balustrade (I don't know what else to call it) on two sides - that is down right brilliant.
And the gold and other colors are tops.
A winner for me! #11151274

Thank you, Kiki, Bill, Bobby, and Patrick, for your friendly comments.
Patrick, I wish everyone had a Buddhist monastery nearby, so their curiosity about the culture would be turned on by all the beauty and peace to be found there. I'm not out to convert anyone. I just saw and photographed so many intriguing things ~ I just want to learn more. #11152272

Another Awesome entry, Mare. It puts me right back to where we stood together having fun with settings and flashes, etc. :)))) I did this one in WILD DDR form later in the day back at the old lappy! HeeHee...You will see it later in the month. It might be too much of a shock. HeeHee... You did a wonderful job here and I can feel the confidence and compassion of this image and statue. They were very gracious people there too, weren't they?! -Pondering Pommy #11152754

Hi, Pom. Yes, the visit to the monastery was enlightening, and I don't mean just the Buddha's frequent connection with enlightenment. I'm looking forward to your DD interpretations of the countless things we saw, especially the monk with the modern handheld device. (Don't want to be a total spoiler on that!) Gracious people, indeed. If only more people had that calm, respectful approach to life and others...including me! #11152812
