The Buddha's Face Complete Blog Index
August - November 2010
The Blog has really come into its own now as I roam the web for interesting, enlightening and just plain weird stories and articles about the Buddha, Buddhism, temples ,Thailand and all things in-between. In particular we have some great articles about garden Buddhas, Buddhist garden design, Thailand Buddhist culture and a mass of interesting You Tube videos.
We were one year old at the beginning of November and in that time have had nearly 10,000 page views with a month on month increase of 20% in the number of visitors.
Thank you for stopping by at the Buddha’s Face – I hope you enjoy your stay at the finest site on the web for Buddha wall art panels, statues and sculptures for the home and garden.
Just as treasures are discovered the earth, so virtue comes from good deeds, and wisdom is as a result of a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs a beacon of wisdom and the guiding hand of virtue.
