Today we ventured out to see something that we missed the last time it was in Escondido. We went to see the Jade Buddha. It has traveled the world and is the largest Buddha carved from jade in the world. I didn't expect to see what I saw today. First, I had no idea it would accompanied so many decorations and adornments. Second, I felt compelled to whisper and I watched others bow and pray to the Buddha. Third, I felt the sense of peace and respect that I believe you are meant to feel with you come this close to a religious relic.
The Jade Buddha will be on display at the Escondido Center for the Arts through Sunday, February 6th. I do recommend a trip that way to experience a little culture. There are daily events taking place listed here: http://http//www.artcenter.org/performances/Program/program8.html
