Can You See The Buddha ?

Somewhere in the cloud formation (centre of photo) there's a "Resting Buddha" laying on his side, can you see it ? (Ok you might have to stretch your imagination a little :D )

I've gone from collecting leaves(looking down) to collecting Buddha images in the clouds....Things are looking up :)

    Either the Buddha is wearing bunny ears for Easter or that's a clouds version of a fold out.

    I did say you might have to stretch your imagination a little ...Oh well for some I guess the mental stretching rack is required... :D

    It is a common misconception that the rack was used for stretching ones imagination when it's real purpose was for restraining anyone** with** an imagination. Few things are as dangerous to conformity as an imagination.

    I looked at your cloud porn again and I think am going to be away for a while.

    Thanks for pic (or perhaps not)

    After racking I can see the Buddha in the shadows, in the pictures on the wall, in the statue of Tara, in the dharma wheel, in the stupa on the table etc.

    ... and now back to emptiness as form ... or is it delusion as wisdom ... o:)

    I was wondering the same thing about you, @Shoshin .... Seeing something of substance within an illusory world is bad enough without also having crazy imaginings about ephemeral forms of water vapour....

    I have never touched anything of the kind.
    I have not inhaled, ingested, injected or imbibed any substance which can confuse the Mind, addle the thinking and leads to unskilful behaviour.

    All idiocy is entirely made by me.

    I always wondered why shrinks would use ink blots instead of clouds.

    "What do you see in that cloud?"

    "A dog licking a carrot..."

    "Really...?!"

    "Yes. No. Now it's a horse eating an apple...."

    "Wow... you can really...."

    "No, hang on, it's changed again.... oh now it's the Hadron Collider...."

    "What the....?!"

    "And now it's my wife's lover in a passionate clinch with YOUR wife...."

    "Holy schytt, you're kidding me!?"

    "Heh heh...yeah. It's just a cloud, man...."

    "No....it's a kitten playing with a ball of wool......"

    "Who's the psychiatrist, you or me?!"

    "Are you asking me, or the cloud....?"

    Hey, it's got to be better than Emos chocolate bunny.

    That's directed mostly @federica as I know she is a fellow Emo fan.

    You're so right.... there's a feeling of empathy there, his humour strikes a chord.... :lol:

    Last night ...There was a corona around the moon with an amazing cloud formation "fragmented" ...Unfortunately I couldn't take a photo of it , but it looked similar to this...

    In USA 'mooning' means showing your bare butt to somebody out a car window.
