Laos Old Buddha carried in the holds of monks’ robe for a lifetime. Buddhism is the primary religion of Laos. The Buddhism practiced in Laos is of the Theravada tradition. Lao Buddhism is a unique version of Theravada Buddhism & is at the basis of Lao culture. Buddhism in Laos is often closely tied to animist beliefs & belief in ancestral spirits, particularly in rural areas. The percentage of the population that adheres to Buddhism in modern Laos is variously reported at 90% of the total population have taken refuge in the Three Jewels. Theravada Buddhism is believed to have first reached Laos during the 7th – 8th Centuries CE, via the kingdom of Dvaravati. During the 7th Century, tantric Buddhism was also introduced to Laos from the kingdom of Nan-chao, an ethnically Tai kingdom centered in modern day Yunnan, China. The Nan-chao kingdom also likely introduced the political ideology of the king as defender & protector of Buddhism, an important ideological tie between the monarchy & sangha in much of Southeast Asia. During the 11th & 12th Century, Khmer rulers took control of Muang Sua, the historical region of the kingdom of Luang Prabang in northern Laos. During this period, Mahayana Buddhism replaced Theravada Buddhism as the dominant religious ideology of ruling classes. Historically, the Lao state is regarded as beginning in 1353 CE with the coronation of Fa Ngum at Luang Prabang. Fa Ngum brought his Khmer Theravada teacher with him to act as adviser & head priest of the new kingdom. This Khmer monk named Phramaha Pasaman also brought to the kingdom a revered image of the Buddha that became known as the Phra Bang, the namesake of the city of Luang Prabang & the symbol of the Lao kingdom. Subsequent alliances with Burma & Thailand helped cement the primacy of Theravada Buddhism in the Laotian kingdom. Faced with rugged, isolating geography & the absence of a strong central government, Theravada Buddhism became one of the primary unifying features of Lao culture.

Lama Surya Das, the most highly trained American lama in the Tibetan tradition, presents the definitive book on Western Buddhism for the modern-day spiritual seeker.

The radical and compelling message of Buddhism tells us that each of us has the wisdom, awareness, love, and power of the Buddha within; yet most of us are too often like sleeping Buddhas.  In Awakening the Buddha Within, Surya Das shows how we can awaken to who we really are in order to lead a more compassionate, enlightened, and balanced life.  It illuminates the guidelines and key principles embodied in the noble Eight-Fold Path and the traditional Three Enlightenment Trainings common to all schools of Buddhism:

Wisdom Training: Developing clear vision, insight, and inner understanding — seeing reality and ourselves as we really are.
Ethics Training: Cultivating virtue, self-discipline, and compassion in what we say and do.
Meditation Training: Practicing mindfulness, concentration, and awareness of the present moment.

With lively stories, meditations, and spiritual practices, Awakening the Buddha Within is an invaluable text for the novice and experienced student of Buddhism alike.

From the Trade Paperback edition.If you dropped the Buddha into a modern metropolis, would he come off sounding like a 16th-century morality play or more like a drive-time disc jockey? Lama Surya Das doesn’t spin platters for a living, but he does have a hip delivery that belies his years of sheltered training in Buddhist monasteries. In Awakening the Buddha Within, he borrows a time-tested bestseller format for a 2,500-year-old tradition that comes off as anything but ancient. With the “Five T’s of Concentration,” the question of “need or greed,” and the story of the monk who bears his backside to prove a point, Surya Das invokes a path of wisdom that is as accessible and down-to-earth as a worn pair of loafers. It’s not an easy path–it demands thought, effort, and discipline. But Surya Das is there for you, lighting the way to wisdom training, coaxing you into ethics training, and laying out step by step the path of meditation training. And if that’s not enough to get you to live in the now, consider these words of the enlightened lama: “You must be present to win.” –Brian BruyaLama Surya Das, the most highly trained American lama in the Tibetan tradition, presents the definitive book on Western Buddhism for the modern-day spiritual seeker.

Buddhism teaches enlightenment or awakening. Buddha is the enlightened one. A Buddha fountain can create an enlightened place in your home and meet your needs for meditation and spiritual practices.

Many studies have shown that meditation contributes to a person’s physical and psychological wellness. Meditation is an internal state of relaxed awareness, with profound mental discipline in which a person attempts to get beyond the normal thinking mind and go into the deeper state of relaxation or awareness. This is achieved as meditation brings the brainwave pattern into an alpha state which is a level that brings healing.

The idea of placing a Buddha fountain in your home is inspired by Siddhartha Gautama (the founder of Buddhism) who achieved and practiced the zen-like peace and clarity of conscience and state of complete freedom from all sufferings. That’s what inspires people to add a Buddha fountain in their homes. Buddha fountain come in different forms. It can be a Buddha wall fountain, Buddha tabletop fountain, or Buddha garden fountain. It is very graceful and peaceful scenery to place one around, like in your sitting area in the patio, or garden.

It can be made out of stone, but most often made of cast resin. This is because resin materials are lighter and easy to move around. Resin is a material that does not oxidize which leads to corrosion. A resin Buddha fountain is made to look with a natural stone finish and doesn’t need any coating; however it may be coated with the popular aged bronze color. There are also some pieces with hand painted colors but mostly the natural stone finish is more popular.

All the Buddha Fountains work similarly and have the same primary parts.

1.) The reservoir which contains the water for circulation.

2.) Small electric pump which suctions the water from the reservoir to the nozzle or any opening the fountain uses.

There are also Buddha fountains for outdoors which are powered by built-in solar panels. The usual type is the Buddha figure sitting in a lotus position of meditation with a large bowl with the fountain coming from that bowl. There are hundreds of Buddha fountain styles. All come for the same purpose of providing a gentle, cascading white noise that covers all other sounds while you are relaxing and meditating.

Having one of those fountains in your home or any place around will serve as a reminder that you need to drop everything that cause suffering and take your time to gain spirituality through meditation and relaxation. There is no better focal point than a Buddha fountain, where the figure reminds you of a true inspiration, the Buddha.

Brass statue of Tara Buddha for meditation in Buddhist religion!!

Tara also known as Jetsun Dolma in Tibetan Buddhism is a female Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism who appears as a female Buddha in Vajrayana Buddhism. She is known as the “mother of liberation”,and represents the virtues of success in work and achievements. In Japan she is known as Tarani Bosatsu,and little-known as Tuoluo in Chinese Buddhism. Tara is a tantric meditation deity whose practice is used by practitioners of the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism to develop certain inner qualities and understand outer,inner and secret teachings about compassion and emptiness. Tara is actually the generic name for a set of Buddhas or bodhisattvas of similar aspect. These may more properly be understood as different aspects of the same quality,as bodhisattvas are often considered metaphoric for Buddhist virtues.

The most widely known forms of Tara are:

Green Tara,known as the Buddha of enlightened activity

White Tara,also known for compassion,long life,healing and serenity; also known as The Wish-fulfilling Wheel,or CintachakraRed Tara,of fierce aspect associated with magnetizing all good things

Cittamani Tara,a form of Tara widely practiced at the level of Highest Yoga Tantra in the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism,portrayed as green and often conflated with Green TaraKhadiravani Tara,who appeared to Nagarjuna in the Khadiravani forest of South India and who is sometimes referred to as the “22nd T?r?.”There is also recognition in some schools of Buddhism of twenty-one T?r?s. A practice text entitled “In Praise of the 21 Taras” is recited during the morning in all four sects of Tibetan Buddhism.
