Yes I used to keep Koi, but looking after them was pretty full-on compared to goldfish.
cheers.
I was chuckling to myself all the way through this Vlog...
Cheers Steve
But how do the Frogs get in and out? .... (You'll have to build a ramp :-)
Nothing wrong with an up-side-down pond either ..... as long as you get your fish from Australia .....
When I said I (or even some one else) may be offended I did NOT mean you had intentions in doing so. It is the understanding that is more important.
To many westerners Buddhism is considered as philosophies. But to a lot of people in mostly Asia it is considered as a religion. Although there is no the ultimate GOD for Buddhists, Buddha is sometimes seen as one.
If you had a chance to visit Thai temples as I suggested above you may see differences between Thai and Japanese arts and cultures. But it is the same Buddha. Interpretations may differ from country to country. Rites and rituals are different also.
If you happen to come over to Thailand please let me know I will be glad to be your guide..
I have no desire to offend those who live their lives according to philosophies that I particularly admire, especially when it is through my own ignorance, but more importantly, I don't want my own actions to inadvertently betray my intentions.
You may see them as garden ornaments, but to me, I'd like to think they have more meaning than mere ornaments. Although I am not a practicing Buddhist, the Buddha representation remains the focal point of my garden contemplations, it's why I have them in the first place, and that is why it's important to me that I make an effort, now I have this new knowledge, to address their placement out of respect and my own intention to continue taking seriously the philosophies they represent.
Before I read your reply I was actually looking at plinths, so I'm glad you mentioned them too. The chances are, the statues will end up being seen in future videos, that's just the nature of what I do, but as the Buddha talks about finding the middle path, I too can take steps to find a balance/compromise. The act of using a plinth may only be a symbolic gesture, but the Intention and reason for using it, is what truly matters. Hopefully this will translate across in any future appearances.
I may even make a point of explaining some of this in a future video to help others understand these philosophies.
If anyone wants to get offended beyond that, then I will honor and respect their right to do so, but with a clear conscience.
I am curious, is it the fact that it is on the ground, or that it has been made a focal point of the garden that is causing this potential disrespect? What could be changed to make it better, or at least less offensive to others who have the Buddhist faith?

I'm loving the looks of your garden, Rick! Very Zen! :) Kudos, mate!
The music is great in this vid...good classic stuff! Also the production values are wonderful...did you upgrade to editing at 4K? The lightening/contrast/colors and sound is very nicely polished.
Looks like you are getting that backyard Feng Shui'd slowly but surely into, shall we say, a nice little Japanese Gardenish kinda thing...your own personal little Shangri La...lol. Maybe you'll be bitten by the Garden Pond to start a Koi Pond, in the future. I've built two Koi Ponds for myself and helped two of my friends build them as well. Do you follow James Wong(Botanist that has done shows on backyard gardening/Herbalism...etc.)? If you need a pointer or two on Garden/Koi Ponds...I've learned quite a bit through trial and error...lol, and have had good info. passed on to me, and would gladly pass it on to you. I think that Garden Pond you just built might be problematic for you during winter time...being that it is above ground.
Cheers mate,Tommy
