THAT ELEPHANT GUY
#samantabhadra #buddhistart #boddhisattva #fugen
Wandering thru stores that sell chinese ceramics or buddhist supplies one could be forgiven for thinking Chinese and other Mahayana Buddhists only revere Kuanyin Hotei and the Buddha. I suspect there's a factory somewhere where some one said ... just change the hands in the mold!
There are other Boddhisattvas.

The Tibetans seem to prefer depict him in Tantric congress.
