I was extremely disappointed to find that such a lovely shop had on display 2 Buddha heads. This is seen as highly disrespectful in Buddhist culture as it represents 2 things. 1- The time in Buddhist history where thieves would often rob Buddhist temples where they would cut of the heads of Buddha statues and sell as ornaments. 2- It is also representing that you are cutting off the head of Buddha and putting it on display. Regardless if they are for sale or not, is irrelevant. It is still disrespectful. It does not matter if you deem it as a representation of a connection to the natural world, its still a headless Buddha being used as a decoration. You wouldn't desacralize any other religious figure, so please tell me why Buddhism is the exception. If you don't believe that Buddhist take a great amount of offense to ornaments like these, take a look at the campaigns in Thailand (A country where 93.6 percent of people identify as Buddhist) use billboards trying to discourage this exact type of behavior. Our culture,philosophy and religion is NOT your decoration. Our statues used for worship isn't a flower stand. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
I really loved this shop so I took my boyfriend who is Buddhist there, but they sell Buddha heads (with no body) which is very offensive and looked down upon in Buddhism and my boyfriend left so upset and offended by this. It was a really upsetting experience
Great shop to visit, lots of lovely bits and pieces to buy
What a beautiful space, gorgeous products. Unfortunately the assistance and energy of the person in the store was both lack lustre and unhelpful- I bought something and then later in the day felt like I might take it back as the the shop persons energy was so negative! Engaging some staff that have positive outlook would be a great improvement as the stock and shop are just stunning...
Surprised and amazed! I stumbled across the Treehouse and was astounded at the quality and range of items as well as the services they offer. A great asset to Warburton and a must see for all those that come and visit this beautiful town.
