Seating the Lotus Garden Buddha (con't)

Covering the Buddha's Head

The final task was the sewing of a yellow cloth over the head of the Buddha which was done by Rinpoche herself. Traditionally, the head is covered until the statue of the Buddha is consecrated. The consecration of the Lotus Garden Buddha is scheduled for April 2010.
