Description
Wood statue gradually deteriorating. Ancient wood carving.
"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
Buddhism started with the Buddha. The word Buddha is a title, which means one who is awake in the sense of having woken up to reality. The Buddha was born as Siddhartha Gautama in Nepal around 2,500 years ago. He did not claim to be a god or a prophet. He was a human being who became Enlightened, understanding life in the deepest way possible.
This is an ancient wood carving of a water boy and was found in or around Thailand. He reminds me of The Buddha and that is the way I created the image by using textures.
