Buddha, Meditation MudraThis Buddha holds his hands in the mudra of meditation, which forms the shape of a bowl, symbolic of the monks alms bowl. It acts as a reminder to accept and grow from what is given in life, to observe the conditioned responses to stimuli as they arise and pass, rather than to react to them. His face reveals a calm state of mind that sees beyond the illusion of solidity, of past and future and self and other and into the vastness of consciousness, moment to moment awareness of the perfection of things just as they are. |

Mandalay Buddha, Earth Witness MudraThis was our very first Buddha. He is based on a Burmese Buddha in the Mandalay Style. His right hand is in the mudra "Calling the Earth to Witness His Enlightenment". In this gesture of touching the earth is acknowledgement that in Enlightenment is awareness of the profound interconnection of all, including nature and the feminine. Also, that enlightenment happens right here, right now, not off in some exotic place, at another time. If not me, who? If not now, when? |

"Loving Kindness" BuddhaAll we really need to remember is to be kind. There are countless teachings in all the world religions, which reflect their unique cultures and individual teachers. They show us ways to know the source of all. Buddha himself was said to have taught thousands of different meditation techniques in order to meet the diverse needs, experiences and levels of consciousness of the people who sought him out. When all the teachings are distilled, at their core is one very simple truth. All we really need to remember is to be kind, to ourselves, to all beings and to the earth. This Buddha, with his hands on his heart can remind us of this every time we see him. |

"Gratitude", To Be Grateful Opens Our HeartsTo feel gratitude for ALL, for the awesome beauty of life and for the learning that comes from being with the pain, which is an inherent part of living. To have gratitude for both can help us soften and open to feelings of expansiveness and connection. |
