Kechara Collection

Back in Sept, 2009, I came across Kechara in the Star article "Trendy Buddhism".
I was interested on this Buddhist organisation founded in 2000 by His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche of Gaden Shartse Monastery to avail the ancient wisdom of Buddha's teachings to practitioners in Malaysia and the surrounding regions.

You can visit their site here:
Kechara House

I visited Kechara centres at Petaling Jaya and Penang.

There the beautiful Lama Tsongkhapa's statue caught my attention.
The hand gesture portray the classic Dharmaachakra Mudra, which represent the gesture of teaching usually interpreted as turning the Wheel of Law. The hands are held level with the heart, the thumbs and index fingers form circles.

Here are my first 2 pieces work on the Kechara Collection.
So just imaging "touching" Lama Tsongkhapa's hand on the stone?

Hope you like them.

Tell me what you think?

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Tell me what you think about the idea, layout and my BuddhaHand works?
Comment and suggestion are most welcome.

Hey....today I turn 50!
I thought what a way to start a new life after 50, is to have a new baby bald head.

Anyway, please stay focus on the blog and give your opinion on the blog and NOT on the bald headed guy!

Thanks.

Note: Oops...the big "fat" face is because when I smile, I stretch my cheek too... wide. The big head is obviously due to work pressure!)

A Blessed BuddhaHand - How is done.

Should the BuddhaHand be blessed?

If you are going to place it on the altar, I strongly you get it blesses.
You can easily get it blesses or "Tiam Gan" by the high monk/sifu of your favourite temple.

Here is a piece at my old house in Kangar, Perlis.

My brother took it to Cher Yang Khor Moral Uplifting Society and has it blessed. You notice the "RED" brush marking on the stone? I applied a coating of clear lacquer spray to protect the brush marking. The idea is later you can clean it with clean flower water.

With a blessed BuddhaHand stone, now you can "feel it and be touched by it".
Isn't it how you want to engage the Kuan Yin in praying?
YES! You touch its hand.

Make sure your hands are clean before you touch it!
