<p>but not as Yoshizen, but aka /  Yoshi Imamura, demonstrating</p>
<p><strong>&#8221; Psycho-kinetic Motor &#8220;</strong> and in the video clip <strong>&#8221; Pendulum Clock &#8220;</strong></p>
<p>made out of computer HDD, and above all, the figure of the</p>
<p><strong>&#8221; Buddha-2009 &#8221; </strong>also appeared ( with the rotating light as his heart ).</p>

<p>I&#8217;m going to put the Buddha-2009&#8217;s full picture in this blog</p>
<p>in near future,  though just give you a brief explanation how and why</p>
<p>the Buddha was depicted in this manner.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;- More than 20 years ago, I saw an image of a stone carving of</p>
<p>Buddha in his asceticism practice, almost skeleton like figure from</p>
<p>Gandhara, and I was deeply struck by it.</p>
<p>So that when I decided to create Buddha&#8217;s stature 7 years ago, I designed</p>
<p>to make him  like a skeleton of which the head is a clear glass sphere</p>
<p>as the Buddhism stands on the selflessness.</p>
<p>The heart shows perpetually changing pattern of light, since</p>
<p>nothing stays permanent.  &#8212;&#8211; etc (all the Buddhism teachings</p>
<p>are symbolised and depicted in here)</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;-<strong>This is a sample of the Zen Buddhism in action,</strong> not in talking.</p>
<p>And my way to the Nirvana.</p>
