Cloud Buddha

I saw this image of The Buddha, as an apparition in the clouds, on the blog, Water people, not grass.

It is an excellent representation of The Buddha's teachings on impermanence & the transience of form.

 "All compounded things are impermanent."

"This life of separateness 

may be compared to a dream, 

a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, 

a drop of dew, a flash of lightning."
