Use this $100 gift certificate to choose for yourself from among Anita Feng's distinctive raku Buddhas. thebuddhabuilder has something for all tastes.

Anita's Buddhas are "a synthesis of east and west - the ancient inheritance of Zen meeting modern American creativity." They also represent a creative exploration of what the Buddha might look like. The word "buddha" means "to wake up" or "the awakened one". If that's the case, asks Anita, "then what might openness of mind look like?"

She uses clay to explore this question. Since it is so open and malleable a material - capable of being pulled, thrown, molded, rolled - it is well-suited to answering that question in myriad ways. And because it's clay it's also involves all of the elements of life -- earth, air, fire, water, metal.

Enjoy the catalog and decide for yourself what form your Buddha will take today.
