The Chinese don't joke with the statue of wat phanan choeng, we've seen the statues of Buddha, Krishna, Shiva and so forth, . Okay, these are effigies of Orunmila Bara Agboniregun, the wisest man who lived, he is the Orisha of wisdom, knowledge, and divination. The author of Odu Ifa who also codified its structure. He was anointed by Olodumare to teach the wisdom of Ifa to Yoruba people and the rest of the world. 1 Like 1 Share

We have to adopt a new mindset if we want to promote and project the traditional belief system and its arts and symbols. If the Chinese left Buddha to exist only in wood he might not have become the household name it is today. Same for Krishna. They present them with reverence using materials of value, like gold, marble, stone, and so on. They codify their use and placement and it becomes an institution. So you cannot just place a statue of Buddha anywhere that meets your fancy, NO. Placement is guided by a set of philosophy and principles of living and aesthetics. We should take note. 2 Likes |
