Budda accsessory 2

This tree is Yakusugi!

It grows only in places higher than 500meters.

A tree is considered to be Yakusugi only if it solder than 1000years. That's why this king of tree is very rare and it called the tree of God.

This tree is Yakusugi!

I found it difficult to really keep the blog updated. I have been too busy these days working on certain projects but will definitely try to keep posting, though it might be short entries.

The most of my order requests are Miroku Bosatsu products.

 Miroku Bosatsu is the bosatsu promised to be set to Buddha to the next of  Gotama Siddhattha in Buddhism



Working!



 Miroku is foretold as a future Buddha of this world in Buddhist eschatology. In some Buddhist literature, such as the Amitabha Sutra and the Lotus Sutra, he or she is referred to as Ajita Bodhisattva. Miroku is a bodhisattva who in the Buddhist tradition is to appear on Earth, achieve complete enlightenment, and teach the pure dharma. According to scriptures, Miroku will be a successor of  Buddha.  It is found in the canonical literature of all Buddhist sects and is accepted by most Buddhists that Miroku Bosatsu will come when the Dharma will be forgotten on Earth.
