Medium-sized Buddha waits for the Big Buddha


We don't know when it's coming, but we have received many gifts in preparation for it. The man who dug up the driveway for the new sprinkler system donated beautiful local gravel for the garden that will hold our new Big Buddha. Some sangha members, including Ray, Chumkee, Jamie and Jason, have donated their sweat and expertise to preparing the ground. We have also received a few unsolicited monetary contributions. The Big Buddha waits somewhere, meditating peacefully. The medium-sized Buddha waits on the gravel pile. The universe is moving along, in its complexity, to bring these two together. The timing, as with everything else, seems to be out of our control. Nothing to do but sit and wait. As usual!

  1. Nice to see the medium-sized Buddha waiting patiently! Have not gotten David's photos of the big Buddha thanks to my ineffective reception but seeing his picture helps me imagine the bigger one. Nice to get such a reception for the big Buddha.
    Never knew what Keido meant before!
    Love,
