This is the true story of the Golden Buddha of Sukotai, Thailand.

Long, long ago Thai monks covered up a golden Buddha in clay to hide it from marauding armies and their greed. It had been forgotten until recent years, overlooked by invaders, ending all fears, until monks saw through a single dried crack seeing the shining statue safe and intact. So the monks continued chipping away revealing the Golden Buddha of Sukotai. Let your spiritual journey begin by finding your Buddhanature within. Your hidden power can change so much: unleash your passion, let souls touch. For all your hopes once unspoken, crack your Buddhaself wide open.

Thank you for sharing this amazing story of the Budda statue with us, Greg. And I like the words you seem to have coined, "Buddanature" and "Buddaself." Very creative. Congratulations on your big win in Chantelle's contest! Best wishes, Carolyn
