Little Buddha

White Buddha at Wat Phra Yai, Koh Samui

I wandered around the backside of the Big Buddha structure hoping to find something a little different and I found this small solitary statue placed at the base of a tree amongst the leaves. I was struck by it's simple beauty and organic appearance. I could easily imagine a monk coming to this spot near the ocean and away from the crowds to pray or meditate. I don't think I could have found a greater contrast at this place.
