Greetings David,
What's the "gold leaf" style thing over the Buddha?
Metta,
Retro.

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo

It's just an artistic decoration. That decoration, the sitting "earth witness" Buddha, the altar table (shown in photo) and another 7 ft. Buddha statue (not shown) were all bought at the same store. They come from Thailand where they were hand-carved.

What a wonderful room, including the view!

"To reach beyond fear and danger we must sharpen and widen our vision. We have to pierce through the deceptions that lull us into a comfortable complacency, to take a straight look down into the depths of our existence, without turning away uneasily or running after distractions." -- Bhikkhu Bodhi
