Here is where he was born, the remains of the palace in Tilaurakot, where he was raised, & the east gate of the palace from where he left to seek enlightenment.
(How I had ended up here, a few months ago, is for another day.)
This is another one of our smaller #Buddha statues. We painted it gold. We have multiple Buddha statues of various sizes, all over our front & back gardens. We practice Taoism but also adopted a lot of Buddhist practices - they tend to interconnect with many crossovers.
Wishing you all more peace & quiet, beautiful & soul-filled moments in life 💗❤️💗
Dieser #Buddha stammt vermutlich aus der Kaschmirregion.

Ein Hinweis für die weiten Vernetzungen der Handelslinien des frühmittelalterlichen #Skandinavien. Die kleine #Jadefigur stammt aus dem 6. Jahrhundert und wurde in einem Grab im #Schweden gefunden.
Da ist die Frage, wo kamen die #Wikinger eigentlich ursprünglich her? Wie sind sie entstanden? Gar nicht so leicht zu beantworten. Ich habe es trotzdem versucht: https://www.miss-jones.de/2021/05/07/woher-kamen-die-wikinger/
A remarkably well preserved 2nd century CE Stucco head of #Buddha from the ancient region of #Gandhara#Afghanistan which has defied exposure to the elements of nature (hence very rare) from the Richard C Blum & Senator Dianne Feinstein Collection of #Himalayan#Art will be on Bonhams auction on 20th March estimate $30,000 - $50,000
“Out of the bosom of the Air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.”
This Buddha statue is crafted from durable sandstone and showcases the Namaskar Mudra, which symbolizes humility and unity through clasped hands at the chest.
I was walking from the grocery store yesterday in North Center and saw this perched carefully on the wall of a building through an alley above a discarded couch. Reminders of samsara enlightenment in the most unexpected of places.
