Garden Buddha StatuesIf you are looking for a Garden Buddha than consider these Stone Buddha statues, which are either carved from a solid stone, or cast from softer sandstone or lava stone. The final texture of these Garden Buddhas can either be smooth, like our polystone Buddha Statues, or rougher like the black Buddha in Meditation.The main difference between Garden Buddhas and other Buddhist statues is that the garden variety is made of stone, while other Buddha images are made of metal or wood. That doesn't meant that you can't use a brass or wood statue of the Buddha in your garden; it just means that it is more common to see a a stone Buddha in a relaxing garden setting. Where to Place Your Buddha Statue In Your GardenThe best place for your Buddha Statue would be an area with some slight shade, possibly under a small tree or overhanging leaves, as Garden Buddhas will last longer if they are out of direct sunlight and rain. Also, if there is a footpath in your garden, do not leave the Buddha close to the footpath so that people will trample nearby. Instead, find a nice, quiet area of your garden to place your Buddha.Meditate In Your GardenWhy not take advantage of the serenity and have a small place set up to practice Buddhist meditation in your garden? remember that the Buddha attained enlightenment while meditating outdoors, and having a high quality garden Buddha statue could mimic this outdoor setting. | ||||
