I can now confirm that Buddha in the Garden is officially classed as missing.

When I say "missing", it might actually have been thrown onto a skip last year without my knowledge when I wasn't there. I only realised it was missing last week when having a post-winter/post-storm study of the garden, and upon questioning the official owner they responded with words to the effect of "I have no idea where it is; it might have gone on the skip - well, no one liked it and it was cracked".

What a Face

Well, any bad karma from that won't be on your head, but on anyone's who did the deed.

It's hardly as if Buddha in the Garden was looked after very well in the first place though, eh, eh? poke

I hasten to add that despite me not exactly being of the Buddhism religion I try and treat any religious symbols with relative respect, hence the reason a broken Buddha left behind by the house's previous owner that I and the house's new owner had always thought was ugly hadn't been chucked away when one's eyes were first set on it in 2011. I was the one who campaigned to save it 11 years ago. yes

But I was also the one who moved it to the bottom of the garden and faced it away from the house. shifty

But I certainly wasn't the one who allegedly chucked it onto a skip. evil

So I like to think any aforementioned bad karma certainly wouldn't be upon me. bowtie

Still, we have a missing Buddha that should be in the Garden - and it's a problem. bawl

But wasn't the original Buddha in the Garden one of those quite creepy leery grin Buddhas?

Buddha in the Woods one is one of those placid, serene, female Buddhas.

I seem to recall that that leery grin original Buddha in the Garden had was part of the reason it caused Butterpops some disturbance and consternation. sad yes

I thought the BITG was made of black plastic?

by Nightjar Sun Mar 13, 2022 6:10 pm

I never said it wasn't.

by Butterfield Mon Mar 14, 2022 12:40 am

You're both right. Buddha in the Garden is/was black - not sure of the material but definitely chippable and hollow with a hole in its b*ttom - and is/was one of the fat, creepy ones.

You may have a Buddha in your garden, but do you have an effigy of a little girl hanging in it?

He doesn't even have a Buddha in the Garden anymore. sad yes

by cosmictanya Thu Jun 02, 2022 10:36 pm

Quite right too. Nor should he. This years must have garden accessory is an effigy of a small unhappy girl who's hanged herself. He's no doubt in the process of getting one of those set up.
