Question by Backpack Jeff on "Buddhist":

I want to get more into my Buddhist practice and go from being a "bookstore buddhist" to someone more enlightened. I'd really like to go to a good retreat in Colorado or California. I also really want Theravada and not Vajrayana, although a combination of meditation and ritual would be cool.

White Tara, Buddhist Goddess of Compassion and Longevity Statue, 6 Inches

• Cold cast resin with antique bronze finish and hand-painted color accents
• 6 inches tall and 5 inches wide

This magnificent statue is a superb representation of White Tara, Buddhist Goddess of Maternal Compassion and Longevity. Measuring 6 inches tall and 5 inches wide, it is a wonderful adaptation from Traditional Tibetan Thangka Painting. Made with cold cast resin with antique bronze finish and hand painted with color accents, the definition and the intricate details of this piece are simply breathtaking. The photograph does not do it justice. This statue is much more beautiful in person and is heavy for its size. It is truly a well-made product and an excellent representation of Asian Art, worthy of your art collection or as the centerpiece for your personal altar.
