    Looking for a Buddha, maybe two foot high (or more) as a garden feature.

    Anyone seen a decent sized stone one about?.

    Just remember, a Buddha is for life, not just for Christmas.

    Also just remember that the fat laughing ones aren't Buddha, but are of a famous Japanese Zen monk who loved to give presents to kids.

    If you don't find one, let me know as I think there's one in a garden that I'm currently clearing-out.

    Are you sure about that one?.

    If you are that would suit my needs perfect as I'm planning on putting a Japanese Maple behind, and slightly above the guy.

    I think there's a place on Lower Camden St. called 'Angel Wings' or 'Crystal Wings' that have a large selection.

    Thanks for the replies guys.

    I found one yesterday in Kinsealy Garden Centre.

    I was spoilt for choice here, they've a lot, different Budduha's and all different prices.

    Picked up a laughing Buddha, about 2ft tall (or slightly more). Heavy as hell too!. for €75-

    But he's stone coloured so I'm hoping he weather's nicely.

    Thanks again guys.
