For the meditator who has everything they want…
No, not because she or he has transcended craving, but because they have got all the Buddhist beads, bowls, bells, burners for incense and other toys the local Dharma Supplies and Joss Stick shop has to offer. Something new – the Buddha phone!
You can, it appears “press the dedicated lotus-leaf button to load a private, customisable, animated altar. The idea is to allow Buddhists to perform their dedications and rituals conveniently when away from home. You can simulate incense burning, purification rites and play music to help you meditate wherever you happen to be.”
Sadly so far only available in Japanese.
Somebody needs to create an iPhone app that will approximate this look.
