Buddha's Mantel


I love the peacefulness, serenity and tranquility of Buddha. Today I want to share my family room mantel, accessorized with Buddha's plaque and figurine. 
One of Buddha's quotes that I love is: Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

    Yes, there is something very peaceful and serene about representations of Buddah. That is a lovely saying - so true!
