| At the Royal Palace in Bangkok | Pouring a Buddha image. This is at a worksite where they make Buddha statues. We were there because they were pouring one for Abhayagiri (California). The Buddha is in the mudra of turning the wheel of the Dhamma. Arrow River was given a smaller version of this image (54 cm high) |
