"In The Minute Beauties Of Execution, The Flowers Are By No Means Equal To Those On Tables And Other Small Works In Pietra Dura At Florence.

It is the taste displayed in outline and application of this ornament, combined with the lightness and simplicity of the building, which gives it an advantage so prodigious over the gloomy portals of the chapel of the Medici.

The materials are Lapis Lazuli, Jasper, Heliotrope or blood stone, Chalcedony, and other agates, Cornelian, Jade, &c."

C'est pour cette raison qu'il ne se borne pas a une apparition unique comme les Bouddhas, mais qu'il se soumet presque sans interruption a une serie de naissances qui dureront jusqu'a l'avenement de Maitreya, le futur Bouddha.

On croit aussi qu'il est incarne dans la personne du "Dalai Lama," et qu'il paraitra en qualite de Bouddha, le millieme de la periode actuelle du monde.
