Here are some more information for Buddha Unique:
Often times you will find different poses or figures for Buddha statues. The most common being Hoti (the fat little deity otherwise known as the laughing Buddha). Others may range from Shakyamuni Siddhartha Gutama which is another common Buddha. Of whom was born in Kapilavastu (An ancient common-place located in Nepal). As the belief goes Siddhartha was the son of Suddhodana and Queen Maya Devi. However the queen Maya Devi begun to have a few auspicious dreams before Siddhartha entered her womb from Tushita heaven.
The young man Siddhartha is captured in countless Buddhist statuary. He renounced his kingdom and lived a life of the mendicant. It was six years after that date when he sought out and attained enlightenment. Under a pipala tree it was then that he became a Buddha within Bodhgaya.
The phrase which was uttered after Siddhartha had reached enlightenment was: " Through many births I have passed the builder of the house of pain is gone, and I am free from any more births." Of which has become his legacy. His serene face and enlightenment forever captured in many different Siddhartha Buddha statues.
Throughout Shakyamuni's (Siddhartha's) life after enlightenment. He preached dharma to everyone that would listen, throughout his days. His light ceased and he passed into his sought after Nirvana at the long-lived age of eighty plus.
Siddhartha statues can be found almost anywhere. Much like Hoti statues, Siddhartha has been captured within the form of statues to spread light, love, and hope. Allowing anyone who purchases these statues to keep his life's dream in mind.
Siddhartha statues are used to invoke a sense of peace in one's home. Becoming increasingly popular with the Feng Shui crowd. Much like other Buddha statues, Siddhartha figurines can be found in different materials and styles. Making them easy to find, and even easier to find one that will fit your vision of the perfect Buddhist symbol.
Laos – Special Unique of Asean..!
Considered by many seasoned travellers to be the untapped gem of Southeast Asia, the diverse landlocked country of Laos is full of surprises. From the mountainous northern highlands to the 4,000 Islands of the Mekong, this nation of just six million has an incredibly diverse geography to match its colourful culture.
Buddhism is the dominant theme of this communist nation, followed closely by the animistic traditions of the hill tribes. These ethnic minorities are a big part of what makes Laos so unique. It takes a long time to travel from the north of the country to the south, where the lengthy Mekong River flows into Cambodia. However, thanks to the steady growth of national airline Laos Airways, many urban centres in Laos can be easily reached by plane.
Top Things to See
There are so many amazing things to see in Laos, including beautiful temples, natural highlights, ethnic villages and rustic towns. It can however take days of bus travel to get from Luang Prabang to Pakse, so visitors with limited time may want to concentrate on one area of Laos. Of course, you can always opt to take a plane from the north to the south if you want to see both parts.
Ban Phanom Weaving Village
Even though it has become a bit commercialised, Ban Phanom is still one of the best villages in the north to see how Laos weaving is done. A visit here makes for a fun and easy excursion from Luang Prabang, and you can pick up great deals on silk and cotton textiles.
Lao National Museum
If you want a better understanding of the colourful history of Laos, make a visit to the country’s main museum, housed in a lovely old French colonial mansion in the capital. Photos, relics and items used by both the royalty and the communist party are on display. Phone: +856 21 21 2462.
Luang Prabang
This UNESCO World Heritage site was once the capital of the ancient Lanna kingdom, and remains one of the most romantic and charming places in the world. Temples, monks and French colonial architecture greet you at every turn. With dozens of nice boutiques, guesthouses and the best shopping and dining in Laos, this town is a destination in its own right. It also makes an ideal base for further explorations of northern Laos.
Luang Prabang Night Market
The most charismatic market in Laos is open every night along the main street of Luang Prabang, which is closed to traffic in the evenings. Hundreds of vendors emerge from their villages to sell handicrafts, artwork and souvenirs.
Morning Market
If you are in Vientiane, get up early and head to the Talaat Sao, or Morning Market, where the capital’s residents do their shopping every day. Besides the fascinating, bustling scene, visitors can buy everything from pirated DVDs to antique items.
Pak Ou Caves
If you visit Luang Prabang, take the short boat ride along the Mekong to check out these natural caves carved out of the sheer limestone cliffs along the river. Over the centuries, Buddhists have come here and deposited small images of the Buddha, resulting in an amazing display of icons. Visiting this unique site is a popular excursion.
Phra That Luang
The most important stupa in Laos is a national icon rising 44 metres high in the capital. Several structures have been built on the same auspicious site since the first Khmer temple here in the 12th century. This is a great place to witness it any Buddhist event in the capital.
Traditional Lao Dancing
Traditional Lao dancing resembles traditional dancing in Thailand and Cambodia, and is one of the most graceful displays of human movement you’re likely to see. A great place to experience a special performance is in Luang Prabang at the Royal Theatre, which re-enacts the Ramayana several nights each week.
Vang Vieng
One of the most picturesque little towns in Laos lies midway between Luang Prabang and Vientiane, making it an ideal stopover. Limestone karsts form a backdrop, as do the surrounding rice fields and a lovely river that flows through the valley. Tubing, caving and other fun outdoor activities are big draws of this town, which has emerged as a major stop on the tourist trail.
Waterfalls
Laos has lots of water, and some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Southeast Asia. In the north, don’t miss a day at Kuang Si Waterfall, just outside of Luang Prabang. Aqua blue water and swimming holes make this a great excursion. The southern Bolaven plateau has even more waterfalls, as rivers roll off the plateau on all sides, resulting in the country’s highest falls among the dozens of beauties.
About the Author

The landscape is dominated by mountains, jungles and of course the Mekong River, which runs for 1800km along the western border of the country. A devoutly Buddhist nation, Laos has opened up to provide travellers with an opportunity to experience the diversity, tradition and natural beauty of the country.

Am I wrong for believing this?
That there is a god, but he didnt create the universe, that Jesus Buddha and Mohammad and moses and whomever people follow were just men, who had their own unique experience with god, and then forced it upon the world as the truth? That I can feel the existence of my god in witnessing the glory of nature, knowing that if this exists, surely something far greater than you or I must be out there? Im tired of being slammed for believing in a god, not a religion. I know in my heart that god is real, and in the same sentence i deny a heaven or a hell.
oh and I am prolife--- arent i full of contradictions
"and whomever people follow were just men"
Except for Buddha you have it nearly right.
Buddha didn't try to force anything onto anyone.
It is only teh xian-mozlim alliance that went for all that 'we are the champions' nonsense.
"Im tired of being slammed for believing in a god"

"not a religion"
LoLz ...
AND you wonder why we think you're just another buncha nutters?

I really have a relationship with Him."
