Placing life tree into New Buddha statue 7 of 9
On the auspicious day of Lord Buddha’s descent from the God Realm of Thirty-Three, which is celebrated today, we placed the Life Tree and the Dharanis into the new Buddha Statue. All morning we did the Prayer of 16 Arhats for long life; they are the great Dharma masters and spread the Dharma. It takes all day to place the Dharanis inside the Statue. In the evening the entire Sangha did the Cherezig Prayer, the Mahamudra Aspiration Prayer and the Butter Lamp Prayer. Every event ended in harmony and in peace. Karmapa Khenno.

China vacation, 2019 Day 5 - Luoyang, Longman Caves and White Horse Gottoes.
China vacation 2019 - Day 5
Traveling from Luoyang, to see the Longman Caves and White Horse Gottoes.
China. officially the People's Republic of China, is a country in East Asia and the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.404 billion. Covering approximately 9,600,000 square kilometers, it is the third- or fourth-largest country by total area.
Luoyang, City in China
Luoyang is an industrial city in central China’s Henan province, in what is widely recognized as the region where Chinese civilization originated. Luoyang, ancient China’s capital during multiple dynasties, is home to Baima Si (White Horse Temple), among China’s first Buddhist temples, founded in the 1st century. Nearby, the Longmen Grottoes contain thousands of Buddhist rock carvings dating to the 5th century.
Longmen Grottoes
The Longmen Grottoes (simplified Chinese: 龙门石窟; traditional Chinese: 龍門石窟; pinyin: Lóngmén Shíkū; literally: 'Dragon's Gate Grottoes') or Longmen Caves are some of the finest examples of Chinese Buddhist art. Housing tens of thousands of statues of Buddha and his disciples, they are located 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south of present-day Luoyang in Henan province, China. The images, many once painted, were carved as outside rock reliefs and inside artificial caves excavated from the limestone cliffs of the Xiangshan (香山) and Longmenshan, running east and west. The Yi River (Chinese: 伊河) flows northward between them and the area used to be called Yique (伊阙; 'The Gate of the Yi River').[1][2][3] The alternative name of Dragon's Gate Grottoes derives from the resemblance of the two hills that check the flow of the Yi River to the typical Chinese gate towers that once marked the entrance to Luoyang from the south.[4] There are as many as 100,000 statues within the 2,345 caves, ranging from 1 inch (25 mm) to 57 feet (17 m) in height. The area also contains nearly 2,500 stelae and inscriptions, hence the name “Forest of Ancient Stelae, as well as over sixty Buddhist pagodas. Situated in a scenic natural environment, the caves were dug from a 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) stretch of cliff running along both banks of the river. 30% date from the Northern Wei and 60% from the Tang dynasty, caves from other periods accounting for less than 10% of the total.[3] Starting with the Northern Wei Dynasty in 493 AD, patrons and donors included emperors, Wu Zetian, members of the royal family, other rich families, generals, and religious groups.[1][5]
In 2000 the site was inscribed upon the UNESCO World Heritage List as “an outstanding manifestation of human artistic creativity,” for its perfection of an art form, and for its encapsulation of the cultural sophistication of Tang China.
White Horse Temple
White Horse Temple (simplified Chinese: 白马寺; traditional Chinese: 白馬寺; pinyin: Báimǎ Sì; Wade–Giles: Pai-ma szu) is, according to tradition, the first Buddhist temple in China, established in 68 AD under the patronage of Emperor Ming in the Eastern Han dynasty capital Luoyang.
The site is just outside the walls of the ancient Eastern Han capital, some 12–13 kilometres (7.5–8.1 mi) east of Luoyang in Henan Province. It is approximately 40 minutes by bus No. 56 from Luoyang railway station.[4] The temple, although small in comparison to many others in China, is considered by most believers as the cradle of Chinese Buddhism.[5] The geographical landmarks to the south are Manghan mountain and Lucoche River.[6]
The main temple buildings, a large complex, were reconstructed during the Ming (1368 to 1644) and Qing (1644 to 1912) dynasties.[7] They were refurbished in the 1950s, and again in March 1973 after the Cultural Revolution. It has numerous halls divided by courtyards and manicured gardens, covering an area of about 13 hectares (32 acres). The display plaques in Chinese and English give ample descriptions of the Buddhist deities installed in the halls. Significant statues include Śākyamuni Buddha, Maitreya (the laughing Buddha in China), the Jade Buddha, figures of saints such as Guru Avalokiteśvara, Amitābha and arhats and stone statues of the two white horses which brought the Indian monks to China and two mythical lions at the entrance.[1][2][3] Under international funding, the temple has undergone many changes, both structurally and internally. The most recent cooperative project, with India, was completed in 2008 when the Sanchi Stupa and the Sarnath Buddha statue were erected.

選擇這樣的家具，能量最正！
呂永中出身于教師家庭，畢業于同濟大學建築學院之後，又留校任教了20年。2006年他創辦原創家具品牌“半木”，2010年辭去教職，專心做起木匠。解釋半木這個名字的時候他說：“半木非木，以木爲聰，取半舍滿。”
以木頭爲有智慧，不自滿而謙虛，由此可見呂永中對自己作品的期許，盡管他早已被視作中國原創設計的代表，幾年前的日文版GQ還將他譽爲“中國下一個時代開拓者”之一。在從大學教師變成一個“木匠”之後，呂永中發現自己的人生有著大大的飛躍。
“能量”是呂永中設計的關鍵詞。“我覺得一個空間，或者一個器物，最終給人的是一種能量， 我們通過長時間的使用， 就會慢慢地感受到這一點。”呂永中說。
