"We have been doing business with Damcho Tsomo and Garden of Buddhas for over fifteen years. We love the wooden statues that are so beautifully carved by craftsmen in Bali, especially the hand-painted Kannon (embodiment of compassion) and the statues of the masculine and feminine Jizos (protector of women, children and travelers). Our customers like knowing that they are helping to support traditional artists in Bali. Our orders are always filled and shipped in a timely manner. Garden of Buddhas is a precious resource!"

“Honestly, as I write this my heart is shaking with gratitude and joy at what we have created together. In this Patacara, a Theri Rupa. She welcomes all with her feminine, powerful and grounded presence. She is a beautiful mirror. I am grateful that she will sit in our community hall, an image that unconsciously and consciously says, “You are welcome here. You belong here”. May she help us all feel more welcome, more included and safer to be fully who we are within our Dharma community and the world at large .Without words to express how deeply I feel this all as gift and love.”

“Garden of Buddha statues are in many corners and altars in Healing Arts Center. We put them everywhere we can because we have found over the years that they not only are they beautiful, they create a feeling of calm and protection for all of us. We also sell the Painted Quan Yin which is loved by many people. Personally, there of 9 of these painted statues that I have not been able to resist taking home over the past years as well as some of the other ones.”

“I am so happy to have Patacara here. She honestly does feel real, in the sense that she seems to impart the whole lineage of the bhikkhuni sangha, from the Buddha's day, in a visceral, deeply touching way. “
