There is a story about two warriors associated with the weeping Buddha. The warriors often faced each other during several battles. Both the warriors used masks as part of their costumes as a result of which they couldn’t see their opponent’s face. Following several such confrontations, the older warrior triumphed over the younger warrior. The younger warrior was killed. When the older warrior took off his mask, he realized that he had killed his own lost son. Seeing this, the older warrior – who is none other than the weeping Buddha – began to cry. It is believed that the weeping Buddha takes away the grief and troubles of the world. In return, he bestows peace and provides strength to those who rub his back.”Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail and decoration and the condition and do not hesitate to send me a message if you have questions or would like additional images.Thank you for looking, Happy Budda Hunting!
