This is so wonderful, Satya. I love your Buddha and I am so happy for your wishes. I’ve been pondering my wishes; I think one is already in the works for coming true. It is very strange how this ‘thing’ just happened. Not me…my daughter had the idea, called and suggested it. Amazing!
I told a friend about this and she reminded me of the Bob Marley quote we used to laugh about and wish for. It’s making me smile even now. “I wish we were all hippies and did yoga, lived in cottages, smoked weed, accepted everyone for who they are and listened to wonderful music. I wish money didn’t make us who we are. I just wish we could redo society.” ~ Bob Marley
That is a lovely Buddha! I’m happy you’ll be together. I’ve been pondering on my wishes since reading this yesterday and I know what I want to wish for but am stopping myself by telling myself they’re too big an ask!
Satya I have learned from you and the pure land teachings that a heartfelt desire fulfilled is not a selfish thing. Those gifts bring comfort, joy, and encouragement tangibly reminding us we are loved just as we are. Thank you for that.
That is a beautiful Buddha, Satya! May it bring much joy and equanimity to you, and to all members of and visitors to your temple. Great start to your three wishes.
I'm glad you appreciate him! I can hardly believe that he will be mine..... (or at least, that I'll get to borrow him for a while - hopefully for the years I have left!)

Sounds like a good plan 😂 enjoy making your wishes x
Such fun to wish. You have inspired me to think of what to wish for! Thanks for the inspiration to have a little fun :)
I'm glad you are wishing, Ashley. And yes, fun is a really good word - taken with playfulness and as an experiment, I think wishing is fun! Enjoy :)
