Thailand, Buddha and Jade

Wat Florida Dhammaram is a Buddhist monastery in Kissimmee, Florida, established by Lung-po Chaokhun Phra Tepvaraporn in the mid-1990s. Over a decade ago, Lung-po visited lay-devotees in Florida and perceived the lack of a Buddhist monastery in the Central Florida area. It's located near us, but I had not been and decided to attend a Spring festival.
It's an amazingly beautiful place that most people don't know about.

Sellers offered traditional Thai food to visitors and I had Tom Yum which was yummy and they made each order individually.   Another seller had blue and pink small pieces in a plastic bag and I was told it was "blue tea".  I am a big tea drinker and lover, so of course I bought some.  The day was sunny and felt warm, but also dryer than usual and I felt cold, we left earlier than I really wanted to.  At home I made some tea.  A soft, "fulfilling" flavor, and it actually was blue color.  It didn't take long to start feeling warmer, more relaxed, a feeling of bliss, something spiritual.  I thought I was getting a cold, but those symptoms went away.  The rest of the day felt very pleasant.

I am not "a Buddhist" but I appreciate the philosophy and practices.  When I went to China I would go to different Buddhist monasteries and each one had a different "feel".  Some of the items that are not jade that are on the web site came from Buddhist monasteries, because I wanted to donate.  

Green jade Buddha Egg available in "Jade Carvings" Collection

White jade "Buddha Egg" very spiritual, available in Ying Yu Jade Carvings Collection

These jade "Buddha Eggs" are from China, made with Chinese jade and the gold image of Buddha added.  I keep some around my personal home areas.   And this Buddha protected us when our home was damaged during a hail storm three years ago tomorrow. 

We had to get a new home built, but we were not injured, not too much of our personal items destroyed.  "Medicine Buddha" kept us safe.

Jade Buddha will give you not only good qi energy from the jade, but spiritual energy, too.
