The Best Lego Buddha Statues




Lego - the chosen play brick of childhood - infinitely creative - children (and big children) have for the last 50 years been making models using its uncannily pixellated form. Normally these are pirates,truckers,hospitals, zoos and the like so it is not surprising that this versatile toy would eventually be used to make Buddha statues. Here are three of the best - not quite sure it works in representing the serenity and wisdom and compassion of the Buddha - given its clunky appearance. But top marks for having a go !

  4. I'd love to be able to make a small stupa in legos, but with little background in brick-building since early childhood, that prospect is rather daunting!
