The last one is my favorite.
Glad you are enjoying the pictures! One of the things that has inspired this thread is that at the monastery I attend there is a Pagoda that has inside a row of Buddhas on all four walls. On three of these walls each Buddha is a replica of a statue from different Buddhist nations and cultures. (The fourth wall has a massive white marble Buddha, flanked by four large golden ones!) I really enjoy seeing the variety!
It is fascinating to see how the image of the Buddha has maintained a certain integrity across many cultures, yet still manifests in a variety of forms.
Since the Buddha says that those who see the Dhamma see the Buddha, I offer this as another Buddha image:
Conditioned by ignorance, volitional formations arise.
Conditioned by volitional formations, consciousness arises.
Conditioned by consciousness, name and form arises.
Conditioned by name and form, the six sense-bases arise.
Conditioned by the six sense-bases, contact arises.
Conditioned by contact, feeling arises.
Conditioned by feeling, craving arises.
Conditioned by craving, clinging arises.
Conditioned by clinging, becoming arises.
Conditioned by becoming, birth arises.
Conditioned by birth, sickness, old-age, and death arise.
