Buddha Garden Statues
August 13th, 2009
You don’t have to believe in Feng Shui or to be a Buddhist to appreciate Buddha garden statues. They have a certain appeal in them that makes garden designs and landscape designs look serene and inviting.
When you read the word Buddha, you would most likely be thinking of the fat, bald Oriental man sitting down looking serious while meditating. Well, you are not entirely wrong for thinking that way since this is the usual depiction of Buddha by the media and by popular culture. But actually, there are other Buddhas out there. There are actually thin Buddhas and happy and jolly Buddhas.
By mixing and matching these different kinds and forms of Buddha, you could create a landscape design that looks really great. You could make them work in such a way that aside from looking serious and peaceful, your surroundings could look festive through the use of Buddha garden statues.
These come in different sizes as well. There are huge statues that would occupy a lot of space. This is probably inadvisable since large Buddha statues are literally large.
There are small and medium sized ones that are great to include in Zen themed garden designs. They add to the serenity of the place which would most likely help in your relaxation during your down time.
Whether you are a Buddhist or not, these garden statues are great accents to any garden as long as they fit your theme. Try considering these statues in your plan and maybe you could come up with something different and interesting.
