Ive been collecting Buddha's for the past five years already. If I'm not mistaken, i already have 16 pieces at home. Every house guests are curious and fascinated as well as they look at each piece. These pieces are made of wood, clay, or cement. Here are some of my collections.
This is how my collections were displayed at home. Some of these were from a local thrift store and were acquired through the years. Some of these are gifts from my friends, some are my finds. A lot mistook them for being expensive because of the materials and its weight, but these collections are not expensive at all.
These replica of Lantau Islands Buddha in Hongkong was purchased in a local garden shop. An original terracotta one and now spray painted in gold for some color. I actually purchased two of these and now sits on my side tables in the living room.
This one was purchased in Thailand during my visit. I am very excited to visit Bangkok since it is my first time in the country and i knew that i can find a good one there. This is a DIY project. I managed to find a nice slate of wood as a background and place the statue on a stand to make a wall display and voila, a nice accent on my wall.
Those two Indonesian Buddhas are from eBay. The two were my first acquisitions. Since then i became fascinated in buddha collection and started it as a hobby.
The last acquisition is a Chinese one, about 2.5 feet tall, pretty huge and now sits in my dining area. This is from Evangelista in Makati where they sell old stuff.
The three sepia buddha pictures was just from the net. I just printed it and displayed it at home.
This also is from Evangelista Makati. Youll be surprised to discover that you can open the panels revealing a small mirror inside.
This is me visiting the worlds largest buddha in Lantau Island, Hongkong. I am so very privileged to visit the place since i am a buddha collector. Quite surprised upon visiting the site because i do not even know that i have the replica of it at home.
This statue is the world's largest Buddha bronze statue. It's 34 metres tall and weighs 250 tonnes, empowered in December 1993.
I hope i had shared to you all of my buddhas at home. My collection do not only bring happiness to me as i got to do what i love but also brings tranquility at home which is what the statue is all about.
