MY FIRST MAITREYA BUDDHA

As a firm believer of the greatness of the Buddha of the World, MAITREYA BUDDHA, I was most fortunate to be able to accept the concept of World peace and harmony under his influence. The world is divided more than ever and the road to the universal salvation is more complex than before. New religions and false prophets are a plenty and the road to heaven is a more dangerous place to be in too.The wrong choice will lead to everlasting sorrows and sufferings.
I am most grateful to be able to understood and believed in this great Buddha. My affinity to him , my ancestors' merit and my own karma must be strong enough for without these I will be unable to accept him.
My home and Holy House are.filled with a collection of 500 plus statues of the great buddha. Some are Big and some are small. They came in all different shapes,stance, style and are made in porcelain, clay, wood, plastic, jade, gold, steel and others.
The collection may never end but I treasured them all.Regardless of their size, looking at them ,gave me a sense of peace and happiness. Many a times I will find inspiration by just looking and admiring them. Solutions to the complexity of life may be hidden in the simple statue. The statue shown on the left is my first and was bought by my late mother 45 years ago when I was still a little boy. Looking at this statue brings back memories of my beloved mum and I am most grateful to her for bring me up and setting the foundation for my journey with the GREAT MAITREYA.
