Here are some more information for Buddha Statue:
Zen Buddhism is rooted in the Chan sect of China and its two principle sub-sects Linji (Jap. Rinzai) and Caodong (Jap. Soto). The tranquility sought by practitioners is embodied in the White-robed Kannon, a Bodhisattva Image of compassion seated informally on a rocky crag beside a turbulent ocean. Images such as these, often jump to our minds when we hear the word Zen. While many of us may not be disciplined enough to follow the path, we can ensure that we are in touch with it by practicing Zen Home Decorating.
Like the infinite universe that surrounds us, there are myriad ways that we can make use of Zen Home Furnishings. Many admire or enjoy the act of gardening in accordance with traditions rooted in practice. Others feel comfortable Buddhist Decorating in other ways. A Buddha Statue in a quiet corner of your home can serve as a focal point for your meditations.
In When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times, Pema Chodron notes that "Bodhidharma brought Zen Buddhism from India to China. He was well known for being fierce and uncompromising. There is a story about how he kept nodding off during meditation, so he cut off his eyelids. When he threw them on the ground, they turned into a tea plant, and then he realized he could simply drink the tea to stay awake! He was uncompromising in that he wanted to know what was true, and he wasn't going to take anybody else's word for it. His big discovery was that by looking directly into our own heart, we find the awakened Buddha, the completely unclouded experience of how things really are."
For those of us not quite up to eyelid removal, Zen Home Decoration might be the most suitable option. Zen Wall Décor can bring an exotic touch to our interior space while serving as a reminder to the awakened Buddha that lies within us. Of course, there are many who have only been exposed to Hollywood portrayals of Buddhist practices. Whether it be the martial arts genre embodied by Bruce Lee as the Kato in the Green Hornet and his American hit Enter the Dragon, or Quentin Tarantino's approach in Kill Bill, we have long been exposed to some of the practices associated with Buddhism in popular western culture. For more general audiences, Pat Morita will always be remembered for his role in The Karate Kid and the mantra "Wax on, Wax Off".
Dry-landscape gardens (kare sansui), re-create in miniature a vast natural scene of mountains and river landscape leading to a broad, calm sea; raked white gravel is used to suggest water. While such a project might be a bit much for many, outdoor Zen Furnishings can bring such a scene to a quiet corner of your outdoor space. Buddha décor can serve as a wonderful focal point for our outdoor design plans.
In the Mahasatipatthana Sutta, Buddha asks "And what, monks, is the Noble Truth of the Way of Practice Leading to the Cessation of Suffering? It is just this Noble Eightfold Path, namely: Right View, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Concentration." Together the Path guides the practioner's actions, mindfulness and concentration while each element is dependant on the other.
Zen Furnishings can help to create an atmosphere that supports your desire to study the Path. By providing yourself and visitors to your home with exposures to Zen Interior Décor, you actively encourage yourself and those around you to explore. It is that adventurous aspect of Buddhist Decorating that is often sought by the traveler inside us. The theme seems to evoke excitement bathed in the exotic.

Statues: Lions, Dragons, Angels, And Garden Gnomes, Oh My!
Statues are a symbol, a representation of a person, an animal, or an event. They are detailed and elaborate and provide insight to the past or are just fun depictions of daily life. Statues are also often seen in a town square or in an art gallery or museum. We gaze at the statues with awe and wonderment, gazing at their magnificence. But what if we are able to take statues and bring them into our homes? They may not be life size or grand, but they can certainly add a unique look to your outdoor landscape. Statues help give your garden or patio character and theme. With many different types of statues to choose from, I’ve selected a few styles that will create a dramatic and refreshing look to your already growing garden.
Animal Statuaries
Statues of animals give the backyard a playful and laid back look. If you’re an animal lover, collecting animal statues around the yard show your love and dedication to any playful creature. In essence, you may start your own “zoo” of animal statues. Here are a few animal status to consider adding:
Copper Lion Wall Sconce
A combination of classic and bold designs forms this majestic lion sculpture. Highly skilled, old-world artisans used modern techniques to create this intricately detailed piece. Each sculpture is made by hand in order to meet the highest standards of quality. A lightweight copper glass is coated with pure copper metal and then treated to produce a long-lasting and enjoyable work of art that will endure the elements of nature and withstand the passage of time.
Brass Dragon
Dragons are known to have spiritual importance and significance in various cultures and religions around the world. In Asian cultures, in particular, dragons are valued as a symbol of the ancient forces of nature, religion and the universe. Dragons are also associated with wisdom and are often said to be wiser than humans. This statue of a brass dragon will make a statement around your flower garden or pond. Made of brass and finished with a verdigris patina, this handcrafted statue will surely withstand the sun and the elements without having to worry about the color fading. It is also outfitted with the ability to include a water pump. The brass dragon statue displays a spray of water and is, therefore, perfect for ponds.
Sea Turtle
If you love the water and are a fan of creatures of the deep, then you may consider a sea turtle statue for your outdoor oasis. Sea turtles are graceful creatures that make their home in the sea, and will surface on the land to lay their eggs. This cast aluminum statue with a verdigris finish will immediately grab the attention of your guests.
Classical Statuaries
The classical era was a time period in which high culture and high art reigned. It is also known as the golden age, from the late 18th century to the early part of the 19th century. Here are a few examples of classic statues to incorporate into your outdoor environment:
Buddha Solar Fountain
Add a splash of Eastern flair with this Buddha statue. It also serves as a fountain, that operates by the rays of the sun. Considered to bring good luck if you own one, this Buddha solar fountain has water flow through the bronze-finished statue. Solar-on demand provides consistent performance even on overcast and cloudy days, using the patented technology combination of a battery and solar panel. This esoteric Buddha will bring peace and serenity to any area of the outdoors.
Miracles of Heaven Statue
With the good book laid out neatly on her lap, the angel spends a brief moment to pray. She may be praying for peace, hope, guidance, and love. This statue is a highly detailed whimsical sculpture that will make your garden seem like a good place to reflect and meditate life. It has the appearance of concrete, but is actually cast from lightweight, durable polystone. Polystone is a weather durable resin material that maintains the intricate detail of the artist’s original sculpture.
Lady Buddha
In addition to the male Buddha, add a Lady Buddha statue to your garden collection. Buddha in modern culture is the embodiment of enlightenment through peace and tranquility. The stunning, yet serene Lady Buddha is handcrafted of durable resin that will withstand the outdoor elements. With an antique look, intricate detailing, and the portrayal of Buddha in a meditative state, this statue will add a sense of calm to your outdoor environment.
Garden Gnomes
Garden gnomes were first introduced in the United Kingdom in the middle part of the 19th century by Sir Charles Isham. He brought almost two dozen garden gnomes home, made out of terra cotta, home from a trip to Germany and decorated his garden with the little statues. Today, garden gnomes have become a popular outdoor accent to many gardens. They are beautifully crafted by hand and made out of weather resistant cast-stone resin. Here are a few kinds of garden gnomes that will be sure to add a playful look to your backyard:
Welcome to my Garden Gnome—he sits on top of the “welcome” sign, inviting all to enjoy the wonders of the outdoor garden
Gnome Reading Book—this gnome is obtaining all of the knowledge his brain can absorb.
Welcome Sign Gnomes—two gnomes carry a welcome sign with a tiny turtle to greet visitors new and old
Bird Bath Leaf Gnome—this gnome is carrying a leaf in anticipation of feathered friends to stop by and splash around
Laughing Gnome—always happy, this laughing gnome will be sure to make you smile.
Viewing a statue does not have to be done at a museum or park because you can now own one that is your very own. Garden Winds has a collection of statues for the animal lover, the art lover, and the silly garden gnome collector. Handcrafted with great detail and constructed out of durable materials, these types of statuaries will add wonder to an already magical garden.
