I love the jizo pics especially!
He is a cute guy, isn't he? Don't be a stranger.
You've maybe noticed my liking for stained glass. It's not something I instantly associate with Buddhism - a quick look at Flickr suggest that there's a little but not a huge amount.
Interesting blue hand and nice bit of cloth - it would be nice to see what it's attached too.
Hi Sandy,
I have indeed been enjoying your recent stained glass posts. This one was part of the original Julia Morgan design for the building, so predates the Zen Center incarnation. Its title is Cornucopia, I believe.
Thanks Shundo, that leads to this link concerning your building - http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/jmemanu/jmemanu.html .Which probably says something of the cultural origens of your window too.
Excellent sleuthing Sandy - I'll see if I can pick anything up at this end.
