You can use the URL's in venerable Appicchato's original post... these correspond to the pictures you can't see.
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,

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 PanyapatipoDharma Wheel (Mahayana / Vajrayana forum)

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.

Mind is Empty
Emptiness is Clear Light
Clear Light is Union

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
