Subject: RE: Thought for the day Mar 3-loss of Buddha
Impermanence is one of the "three marks" of all compounded existence, according to the oldest complete recension of the Buddha's teachings (i.e., the Pali Canon). That impermanence would extend to both the statues and their desecrators.

Be well,
