Jade Buddha for Universal Peace

[Peregrinus]

Interesting. Where did you find a quartz pyramid?
It will be a few months before I can make my wooden one.
I did have a Malachite dog once. But the Buddha sounds interesting.

I will take a pic today and post it.

The quartz pyramid I had to look around metaphysical stores for. I went to a number of different stores that sold rocks and crystals books, incense, items, etc. At some stores they wanted $70 (some wanted $70 for plastic pyramids!); I found the one I have for $12. They only had two in pristine condition, the rest being over 70 degrees or having chipped corners. I bought the two, gave one to a friend (with use instructions and cautions), and kept one for myself.

The Buddha I have is much lighter and more translucent jade than the giant one. In the east, many factors go into assessing the quality of jade; not too dark, not too light, and an even translucency is sought after. Only in the west is dark green jade thought to be of value, so I found it interesting then that this giant Buddha is made of very dark opaque jade and that that is acceptable. I would like to see two or three men easily lift this giant Buddha, after meditation, as the monk suggested. The light over the giant Buddha is spectacular though, as is the Buddha itself. Thanks for sharing that zanny

I had a very interesting meditation last night after reading about the giant jade Buddha. I asked The Buddha to help me deepen my consciousness upon beginning the meditation, in addition to Q'uo. I went places I had never gone before. I filled with light like I never have, each breath lit me up like a small star. At one point when I was in a great light, I was plunged into almost complete darkness, with only distant stars around me. I had a face go by me from right to left, and it startled me. I asked for this being to identify itself in the name of Christ, and from in front, coming to and going through me, came the alabaster face of the Buddha. None of this frightened me. It was beautiful, the light, the dark, the Buddha. It was the longest meditation I have had yet to date, and I felt so blessed to have had it.
