Yeah, I was just gonna say, my dad's SO just now finally went to Chinatown (she'd been threatening to go for *years* now ) and brought back not 1, but 2 Buddhas. She's *very* happy with them. When I didn't notice them right away, she said, "Aren't you going to say anything about my Buddhas?"
Depending on the buddha you buy, they're supposed to bring prosperity and good luck.
This may sound strange, but it's absolutely true - my parents have a large buddha (at least 3 feet tall) in their living room. And a large bonsai tree!
My father did yoga, biofeedback, threw out all the sugar cereals of us kids back in the sixties. I guess that's why he's still going at 81.
You might just tell her, "I am not your Buddha's keeper".
My brother brought back a foot-tall Buddha (Hotei, the "happy" Buddha with the belly) from Korea. He loved that thing - set up a special mini-temple for it, burned incense around it, etc.
Heehee!
Yes, these ones she brought back are about a foot high, too. I must admit, I don't know the differences between Buddhas that you seem to be referring to, but these were some biggies (to my untrained eyes). But, like I said, they made her happy, so I was happy for her!

I've finally begun yoga -- it's everything they said it was and more -- and, really, it sounds boring and wet blanket and stick-in-the-mud, but the food that was bought and sold to us, a long time ago, for the most part, is ****! Sigh. Off my high horse.

I need to try and fit in a yoga class. I think it would do me a world of good.

Hmm....German Shepherds are usually pretty smart.
