Extremely high quality Thai Buddha Head from the Ayuthaya period. More finely cast and more artistically sculpted than most of the pieces created during that time. Loss of the earlobes, but otherwise a truly striking piece. The curator of The Buddha Gallery
One of his students asked Buddha, “Are you the messiah?”
The focus of "The BeZine," a publication of The Bardo Group Beguines, is on sacred space (common ground) as it is expressed through the arts. Our work covers a range of topics: spirituality, life, death, personal experience, culture, current events, history, art, and photography and film. We share work here that is representative of universal human values however differently they might be expressed in our varied religions and cultures. We feel that our art and our Internet-facilitated social connection offer a means to see one another in our simple humanity, as brothers and sisters, and not as “other.” This is a space where we hope you’ll delight in learning how much you have in common with “other” peoples. We hope that your visits here will help you to love (respect) not fear. For more see our Info/Mission Statement Page.

Here in my neck of the woods, The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts is currently hosting the most wonderful exhibition titled “Reflections of the Buddha September 9, 2011 – March 10, 2012. This space is overwhelmingly calm and beautiful, designed by Tadao Ando. There are 22 works of art from collections around the world. We have been once. The space is open to the public two days a week.
