The cities and countryside of Southeast Asia are saturated with Buddhist shrines and statues.  Sculptors from this area who create a Buddha strive to imbue three essential qualities in his form,  tranquility, kindness and enlightenment.  As an archetypal image, the Buddha mirrors these capacities within each individual human being.  In an interactive presentation, Deborah will share photographs of this compelling iconography from a recent excursion to Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.  Reflections on the power of sacred symbols and their capacity to inspire and shape the human psyche will be explored from a Jungian perspective.  Deborah will share from her cross-cultural experience and speculate about humor, a subtle fourth quality in some of the colorful imagery.  As we contemplate these ancient and artistic renditions together, participants will be invited to share observations and discover their own direct experience of the face of the Buddha.
