Buddha

As mentioned above Buddha can refer to the historical Buddha Shakyamuni or to anyone who has attained full enlightenment. In general, 'Buddha' means 'Awakened One', someone who has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and sees things as they really are. A Buddha is a person who is completely free from all faults and mental obstructions. There are many people who have become Buddhas in the past, and many people will become Buddhas in the future.There is nothing that Buddha does not know. Because he has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and has removed all obstructions from his mind, he knows everything of the past, present, and future, directly and simultaneously. Moreover, Buddha has great compassion which is completely impartial, embracing all living beings without discrimination. He benefits all living beings without exception by emanating various forms throughout the universe, and by bestowing his blessings on their minds. Through receiving Buddha's blessings, all being, even the lowliest animals, sometimes develop peaceful and virtuous states of mind. Eventually, through meeting an emanation of Buddha in the form of a Spiritual Guide, everyone will have the opportunity to enter the path to liberation and enlightenment. As the great Indian Buddhist scholar Nagarjuna said, there is no one who has not received help from Buddha.

Lovely details Chips.

Excellent perspective & angle. The gold & blue goes very well.

Beautiful. It's wonderful to be able to view your country through your photos since some of us will never travel there to see it first hand. Thanks!

Nice perspective.

 

Regards...

nice composition.

Superior contraste de lus dorado y azul, bella composicion y perfecto encuadre, un cordial saludo Chee Hong.

Nice photo of a sculpture. well done.

I love under note and a wonderful pic.

I love the angle you shot this at! Great detail and beautiful blue sky. Just enough clouds. This shot got my attention.

Creative angle for this shot and nice blue/gold colors. I like it!

Good work. A fresh, stunning angle on a familiar subject. But I suggest you consider cropping a bit of the sky out on the top, and perhaps on the sides as well.

Thank everyone for the comment & advice.

I like the perspective and color contrast,CHiPS. The write-up is very good and the capture of the hand showing the ' abhaya mudra' is commendable.

Very interesting, Chips, excellent capture!

Thank You Chip,s for You explanation,I know some people,they got very happy,following him. I like the way, You represent him,nice perspective,very respectible in gold with the sky.

Absolut stunning color , impossible to improve on this view. Great explanation CHiPs thank you.

I just saw a documentary , the aim is not to follow Buddha but to seek enlightenment for ones self.

A most interesting concept , not compatible with our time. A most memorable image!
