Making Buddha...

We visited a Wat or temple in the town on the weekend. Located in a building within the temple complex was an area where people are making and learning how to make Buddha idols.   

The image of Buddha for me radiates an aura off stillness and a demand to be present in the moment with ones self. 

However I have never thought how each image is created.  Each idol is only humble material (brick and concrete in this case) -  much like our selves  but we are only flesh and blood both fragile and humble..

But how does this image transcend its humbled beginnings ? 



  
                  We all need a plan...



 


It was a lovely thing to happily come across...
