I fell in love with Balinese Buddha when I first saw him.
The monks carve them as meditations.
Mine has been on my altar for 20 years, and has a beautiful patina from being held.
People call him Humble Buddha, but more often, Weeping Buddha.
I call him Buddha Ball.
I like to create variations of the same object or image.
I am not sure why and I don’t want to question it,
but the subject came up as Mitchell asked me “why?” the other day.
Many of these were created for a series of posts I wrote on my Lojong practice.
These are all my sketches of Buddha Ball to date (I have larger paintings.)
More to come!

I think it’s the perfect metaphor for so many ways of seeing.
