Re: Thai Rupas...
Greetings Fede,
I suspect the problem is that some sites don't like forums linking to their posts (because it's a drain on their bandwidth) so lock down their pictures so that they can't be automatically called upon by message boards.
Metta,
Retro.
You can use the URL's in venerable Appicchato's original post... these correspond to the pictures you can't see.Fede wrote:different pc, same result.

Those are amazing.
I particularly like the second one -- behind the rupa, is that a mural painted on a wall, or perhaps a tapestry?
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful statues.
I wonder what the Buddha would think of them.

He would think "I thought I told you not to idolize me, but my teachings instead. Therefore create statues of Dhamma wheels."
At least that's my view. ;P
