    I don't think I have ever seen a picture of the outside of Treeleaf in the light before!

    Great to hear about your travels together!

                Hi guys,

                I want to also share a little of what's inside Daibutsu.

                It turns out it is a nice museum with the theme of ascending towards the Pure Land. And there is also a lot of information on how this huge statue came to be.

                On one of the pictures you can see me standing next to a toe of the Buddha. It's really big! The statue is taller than the Statue of Liberty!

                And then there is a golden hall with a thousand statues of Amida Buddha... Some of them have the name of the person who sponsored the construction and maintenance of the whole park.

                OK then. Today we will off to Tokyo and in the night I'll take the bus to ge me to Antaiji. I'll be off the air for about 5 days. I'll see you all soon!

                Gassho,

                Kyonin

                              The physical characteristics of a Buddha ... Please remember that the following is written by a most respected western born Theravadan monk and translator, Ven. Sujato

                              And the worst thing about this title is, I’m not even kidding. As sutta students are well aware of and somewhat embarrassed about, the suttas depict the Buddha as possessing 32 special marks, regarded as signs of a Great Man. Most of these are visible to a careful observer, but two are hidden: the nature of his penis, and the size of his tongue. When the Buddha realizes that someone wants to check out his equipment, he uses his psychic powers to reveal his genitals to that person. As respectfu...
