And thanks again for the photo, and I invite you to send any more from your travels....yesterday I saw a statue that was for sale here that looked like that Buddha in repose....very interesting/unusual that I would see something like that, after pondering the photo....I actually wondering if the statue had been stolen at first, but then I realized that it looked too new...maybe it was a molded copy? ~elizabeth springelizabeth springhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16913744861377073587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065654393122420690.post-25206158627447700982008-03-29T20:45:00.000-04:002008-03-29T20:45:00.000-04:002008-03-29T20:45:00.000-04:00This photo is a detail of the wall paintings in th...This photo is a detail of the wall paintings in the shrine room of the Sakya Nun's Institute in Manduwalla, India. The paintings depict a series of events in the life of the Buddha, and this one would indeed be just prior to his death. But I do love <BR/>Hitchhiker72's beautiful way of expressing this event as "repose of the verge of a sublime transformation".<BR/><BR/>---Elizabeth SchwalbeElizabeth Schwalbenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065654393122420690.post-37110505581430253852008-03-27T08:25:00.000-04:002008-03-27T08:25:00.000-04:002008-03-27T08:25:00.000-04:00Hi Hitchhiker72~ Yes, isn't that interesting?! ...Hi Hitchhiker72~<BR/> Yes, isn't that interesting?!
