Subject: |
Buddha image
in the
pahng ram peung
pose, i.e.
reflecting or thinking in retrospect, which refers to a scene in which the
Buddha contemplates the subtle nature of
dhamma
and ponders on how to reveal this to mankind, considering that his teachings
may be understood better by some than by others and comparing it with the
image of
lotus
flowers, of which some are already
flourishing above the water while others are still below the surface
awaiting their bloom. This pose
corresponds to Friday in the
Phra prajam wan geut
system, while the pale blue background
corresponds to Friday in the
sih prajam wan
system. |
