From Madison:
It seems there is a kinship between the Buddha and the sun.
The sun god is one of the primary divinities to many peoples.
The cult of the sun god has a long and strong tradition in both the east and west. What related to our study is Surya and Mithra. Surya is the sun god in the Indian tradition.
The image of the sun god appearing in the Buddhist context leads scholars to seek links between the Buddha and the sun.

speaks on so many different levels. The delicate sunflower encasing the rock faced “Buddah” whose almond eyed gaze is anything but vacant. Love the touch of the Monarch!

Truly beautiful! I am especially loving the part when you bring in the butterfly, it makes the whole masterpiece so sacred! =D

This is a beautiful piece of work. Love the softness of the leaves & petals with the stone-likeness of the Buddah face. And I agree, the butterfly is a wonderful addition!
