Here's a whole pile of laughing Buddhas for TRAVEL PHOTO THURSDAY APRIL 21, 2011.
There's no telling what the story behind this collection might be. I'll have to do some further investigation.
Not that I'm getting all religious, or anything like that, in my old age. I just like Buddhist stuff.
This one guy, Dali Lama XIV said, "KNOW THE RULES WELL, SO YOU CAN BREAK THEM EFFECTIVELY". Sounds like a reasonable plan, to me. So, that's what I try to do. I know all the rules in Okinawa, Japan.
Now, I don't know what happened to the person or persons who started this collection of Buddhas but, I'll be snooping around to see if I can find out.
They don't look too shabby in the photo at the top of the page, except maybe, for the one on right side of the roof that got knocked over.
When you zoom-in for a closer look, it appears they've been neglected. Or, could it be they were all mud wrestling and they're laughing because they took those big sticks on their shoulders and knocked that one Buddha out ?
This pile of Laughing Buddhas is located on the left side of HWY 84 about a mile past the Nago City Pineapple Park.
Have a look at photos of wildlife, festivals and travel sites here. Sharing tips for travelers with a twist of humor is part the life I enjoy in Okinawa, Japan.
