As for our sister site WWW.TEMPLESOUNDS.NET we are beginning to upload some statuary, such as this SAHASRABHUJA AVALOKITESWARA

The cosmic form of Avalokiteswara. (Avalokiteswara is the one who refused to accept Nirvana since he considered such acceptance selfish in view of the great majority of people who have not yet attained that stage. His sacrifice symbolizes infinite compassion [Karuna], sharing of mankind's misery, willingness to help those in distress. He is savior and protector from danger, so his invocation [Mantra] "OM MANI PADME HUM" is found inscribed on rocks, prayer wheels, etc. Avalokiteswara is called Chengresik in Tibet.)

STATUE DETAILS: This brass statue stands 7-1/2 inches tall, is 5-3/8 inches wide, by 2 inches thick (front to back). Weight is 2lb 4.2oz (1025g).

Just the beginning, yet while you are there, have fun listening to some of our GONGS as well. Statues are on the second half of that page. More related-type items coming as well, and we will be shifting all of our Hindi-based crystal carvings such as Ganeshas, Phurbas and Dorjes there soon as well.

BTW, yes, we are closed this 4th of July! Don't worry though, we will be open again on Saturday, as well as holding our monthly PSYCHIC FAIR this Sunday, July 6th.

See you there and have a safe and Happy 4th!
