Big Bellied Buddha

Statue of Milefo in Emei, Hsinchu, Taiwan

I chose to do a statue of Buddha because I am very interested in Buddhist traditions and culture.  On my last visit to Korea, my wife’s cousin took us to a remote Buddhist temple in the mountains of Korea.  We watched monks conduct daily operations and pray.  As we were leaving we were instructed to rub a Buddha statues big round belly.  They said it will bring good luck and your first born will be a son.  11 months later we had a baby boy!
