I ordered this statue for my daughter's birthday, taking the chance that it would feel "special enough" for this time in her life. I wanted to give her something that was symbolic of her beauty and love for yoga. Something that would motivate her to continue her journey into health and mindfulness. It far exceeded my expectations! I was thrilled to give her this amazing handcrafted gift and she wept when she held it!

I have been intrigued by the crying Buddha for years. I sometimes struggle with depression and the crying Buddha makes me feel less alone. I bought both the small and larger carving because I didnt know how they would feel. I want to offer comfort to the Buddha and I didnt know what that would look like. Would I want to hold it in my hand or would I want to stroke his back? Turns out, I want to do both. I brought the smaller carving to work and I have the larger statue on my grandmothers desk. I rub the larger statues back every time I walk into my living room. I offer the Buddha my comfort and he offers me his. I hold the smaller carving in my hand when Im at work. The smooth contours of the carving beg to be touched. Im so happy with both of them. They are beautiful.
