One guy saw a Jade Buddy statue on a business trip (he collects those things and always pays attention to those stone stuff). The seller wanted $30,000. His offer was $500. The gap was too big, and the transaction could not go forward in the first day. 2nd day repeated the scene. On the 3rd day, he checked out of the hotel with his luggage, and passed the jade seller's store again. His offer was same, $500. The seller put the statue in his hands, "it's yours".

I've been looking for a jade Buddha statue since I first saw one back in 1971 on Okinawa...Well, not actually jade...I'm sure it was plaster...but I really wanted one with a clock in its belly...

Never have found one...Yet...

(But an AF buddy found this in a war surplus shop...but I don't think it's a Buddha...)

Postie, how 'bout finding a plaster one and retrofitting it with a clock? Careful, though, doing this may cause your Karma to runoover your Dogma...
