[Buddha-l] Making a living

[David Webster]

And, in reality (and maybe movies) they seem a signifier of wealth and taste
- posh restaurants, etc...

Not in my filthy hovel, mind - just an old and chipped Buddha under a pile
of unpaid bills...

In movies rich people's houses always have buddhist statues and nic nacs 
in them. Especially in old black-and-white movies. Nick and Nora Charles 
had a statue of Kwan Yin in their living room in at least one of the 
Thin Man flics. I think Aster almost knocked it over once, but Nick 
saved it (while balancing a martini in the other hand without spilling a 
drop).
