This statue of Buddha, with peace writ large on his face, deep in introspection or meditation, inspires me to stay calm in the midst of all the chaos that threatens to take over my life. It called out to me the moment I saw it at a potter’s shed, and I had to pick it up.

In our school days, we had a white coloured statue of Buddha, which broke during one of the transits..

There’s a kind of calmness, a free of all kind of feeling on Buddha face, which I love the most. I have been wanting one for a long time. May be one of these days, I shall get one.

That is exactly why I love the Buddha statue so much. I had dreamed since long to get a statue like that for my home, too. My wish finally came true a couple of years ago. 🙂

I have always loved Buddha statues.. brings instant calmness. I have tried getting one many times.. but Amma doesnt let me. Some superstitious belief that she has 😦

Same here. Buddha statues fill me with a sense of instant calm.
What? I didn’t know there is a superstitious belief against keeping Buddha statues at home.

Amma heard it somewhere that if a big Buddha statue is kept it home, the man of the house might get tempted to leave the materialistic life and go into Sanyasam. I know its pretty shallow, but she is very stern about this.
