Shao Shan Temple's Cemetery's lightweight Buddha statue made of resin has been decomposing - bits of the shoulders, knees and head falling off. We have been looking for nearly a year for a replacement genuine stone Buddha Statue that could stand up to Vermont's cold winters. And here it is: ~27" tall, with a serene expression, hand carved in Indonesia of lava stone.
The new statue is on the west side of the Cemetery's central oval in the "Priests' Garden". This area will also be developed with benches and bushes creating a small place for reflection similar to the "Communal Shrine" on the east side of the central oval.
