Guest guest37336 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I've got the perfect solution Kate. He was a saint, but still holy enough I would imagine, meet Padre PIO: http://www.padrepio.catholicwebservices.com/ENGLISH/ENGLISH_index.htm alternatively I could shave my head, wear sackcloth and hum a lot, I do this anyway here, so no great shakes. Cheers Tony.:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest37336 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'd also be very careful here Kate. You know you are meant to rub a Buddha's belly for good luck,:yes:, all well and good. But what happens when you rub a monk. With all the furore over certain allegations recently you never know what can of worms you will open, be very careful Kate.:no: Cheers Tony.

Guest siamsusie Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 [ATTACH]3460[/ATTACH]This is my little one:wubclub: Your monk is lovely x You can buy her in stone at the nursery mentioned below. http://www.thornlandsparknursery.com.au/about n fact, the evolution of Buddhism in Asia and its spread throughout the world is, from a spiritual point of view, none other than the unfolding of karuna in history. Nowhere is this more explicitly exemplified than in the Chinese assimilation of Buddhism. Few would deny that the defining symbol of this integration is the goddess, who with her sweet and merciful disposition, has won the hearts of not only the Chinese, but also profoundly affected even those who, belonging to a foreign tradition, have only had a fleeting interaction with her. This divine female is none other than Kuan Yin, beloved goddess of over a billion people the world over. Her name too signifies her compassionate nature, literally meaning 'One who hears the cries of the world.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
