Reclining Buddha

 

Reclining Buddha, Rain - Marin County  2022

Reclining Buddha, Maple Leaves - Marin County  2022

"A reclining Buddha is an image that represents Buddha lying down and is a major iconographic theme in Buddhist art. It represents the historical Buddha during his last illness, about to enter the parinirvana. He is lying on his right side, his head resting on a cushion or relying on his right elbow, supporting his head with his hand."

This statue is located across the street from us. Top photo taken during the December rains. Bottom one taken also in December, earlier in the month.
