In Buddhism, a buddha is any being who has become fully awakened (enlightened), and has experienced Nirvana. Some Buddhists meditate on (or contemplate) the Buddha as having nine characteristics: a worthy one, perfectly self-enlightened, stays in perfect knowledge, well gone, unsurpassed knower of the world, unsurpassed leader of persons to be tamed, teacher of the gods and humans, the Enlightened One, the Blessed One or fortunate one. These characteristics are frequently mentioned in the Pali Canon, and are chanted daily in many Buddhist monasteries. Source: Wikipedia Photo from a visit to Kamakura in May, 2006.

Yo le debo haber tomado ya unas 50 fotos a ese Budha de Kamakura en mis multiples viajes. Pero esta claro que ni mi camarita cybershot, ni los 500 dolares que gaste en ella, ni mis multiples intentos por hacermelas de fotografo logran lo que esta foto. Singularidad. Hombre, has retratado a Budha! :)
