During my meditation session yesterday I had an interesting thought enter my mind:
"Enlightenment is a practice not a prize."
~Peace to all beings~
PHOTO CREDIT: Standing Buddha statue from the 2nd or 3rd century in a museum (not sure which one). However, Tom Armstrong sent the picture to me. Thanks Tom!!
It's amazing how well intact is appears to be considering it's age.

You are absolutely right, the ultimate practice.
Humorously, I heard Bob Thurman once say "In Buddhism, we hear a lot about, practice, practice, practice .. what I want to know is ..when is the performance ?"
Some statues are of such divine inspiration that you could think the artist himself is an enlightened person...
Wow...that one hit my write between the eyes....wandering off to ponder that a while.
*runs back for a hug...* Thanks!!
David:
That's a great comment by Thurman. Very witty.
Renee:
I think you're very right.
Green Woman:

Whoa! I missed this post when it first up. Outstanding sentiments in your text. And the Buddha does look very nice in your blog; I am sure he can only be honored.

Thank-you, thank-you. The picture does look noble and peaceful at the same time. Thank-you again for the picture.
