Little Buddha


A carving from Baodingshan, in China.  I unfortunately can't remember which wall I found this little guy on, and there's not enough to reference in the background for a cross-check on the interwebs.  But judging by his blissfully devotional countenance, I think he is not, for example, from the section of the relief which depicts the "Hells of Excrement and Impaling."

  1. Thanks for that timely reminder of the "Hells of Excrement and Impaling" faced by calm meditation. Very useful.
