Design Concept:

Buddha embodies compassion and wisdom, and the Buddha sculpture is a reminder for all of us to love and to care. “Present Mindfulness” is a set of three Buddhas: Amitabha Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha and Medicine Buddha, representing the past, the present and the future of cultivating peace. They remind us that the past is understood through learning, and the present is understood through cultivation. This gives us a grasp of the future and releases us from apprehension. Medicine Buddha, though, is named for his healing power to eradicate illness of life and death, but he not only cures all beings of their bodily pain and disease but also heals their incomplete hearts and minds. Praying to Medicine Buddha is for healing and good health.

概念設計說明:

佛，是慈悲與智慧的象徵，而佛像是一種提醒，讓我們對世界有愛與關懷，在紛擾的世界，欣賞佛像的當下，也得到心靈的寧靜。此作品為三寶佛系列之一，三寶佛即釋迦牟尼佛、藥師佛、阿彌陀佛,代表過去、現在、未來的修行與正念思考。提醒的是:透過學習，知道過去;透過修持，知道現在。我們可以對未來有一種了然，沒有疑懼。其中，藥師佛是以能拔除生死之病而名為藥師，然而，其不僅醫治眾生身體上的病痛，也醫治不圓滿的心靈，藥師佛代表祈求健康長壽。
