Jade Buddha

Missed a couple of days of UBBT due to sickness but just about caught up now. Holiday and sick should not be used in the same sentence little own have to go through it. Missed the Jade Buddha that was on display by in the temple close to Westlock Alberta. Kristy, Dave and Kim went I guess it is spectacular. They spent more time there than they had originally decided so the whole experience was great. I was sad that I missed it.
One of the cool things the 4000 lbs Jade Buddha’s was carved from one half of the Jade rock that was found in northern British Columbia Canada. final resting place will be in Australia. The Jade Buddha only made three stops in Canada; it was so close on its world tour for Universal Peace.
Interesting Utube video on where the jade was found and it’s carving. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoLrvafwKUE
