We should have a galery of staues like this. Maybe that is gnome Buddha, famous ammong the gnomes and gardners alike?
Thanks for sharing

That's a garden gnome I wouldn't mind having in my garden. (If I had a garden)

I've been wanting a Buddha statue in my garden for several years, now. I like the gnome one! I have a perfect spot and everything, but where I live, they are very expensive, I'm not paying $130 for a garden (or house) statue!! I have several in my house but, due to the price, they are pretty small.
Beyond likes and dislikes, beyond grasping and needing and desires. . . I love that gnome and WANT it!

Thanks for this Kirk ... here is Buddha in my backyard (and yes he is smiling). Also, a photo of Buddha beside Buddha.

If I had a garden, I'd put a nice Buddharupa.
But I'm lucky I have my little guy here besides me at my desk
He also travels with me everywhere.

Just for our Buddhist art and iconography folks ... Kyonin's statue is a seated Amida Buddha. Shingen's statue seems to be Shakyamuni. One can tell primarily from the Mudra of the hands, which for Amida Buddha is somewhat different from the Zazen mudra.
Does it matter that it is Amida of the Pure Land schools, and not Shakyamuni (who would have his hands in the Hokkai Join Mudra like "us" in Zazen)?
Well, I don't think so. In fact, our Buddha Statue in the Zendo here is probably an Amida, although so chipped and pockmarked (one reason I chose it), it is almost impossible to tell.
The Gnome above, by the way, appears to be an Amida gnome, not to be confused with Zazen or TM gnomes ...
Gassho, J

We have an Amida in the back yard . . . though you can't tell when the snow gets too deep.

We also have a meditating frog who takes indignities rather well.
