Hello fellow buddhists!
I have this gift idea for the monastics. What do you think?

I have no idea how to make soaps btw. I am just an artist :slight_smile:
Carved this one on a regular soap bar so i can share my idea with you.

For something so simple, this is surprisingly deep, and from a discussion perspective, there is a lot to unpack from a bar of cleaning soap with the word “anicca” etched into it.

I :heart: it.

Yay! I am glad someone gets it! Thank you! I thought it was pretty deep and clever.
Hope you really appreciate how lucky you are being an Anagārika :slight_smile:
I am doing my best as a lay buddhist until I am able to join a monastary.

It’s not uncommon at Sri Lankan places, especially in the west, for them to be overrun with soap. To the point that they have to give it away to homeless shelters, etc. So it’s possible that they would never even notice it.

Also some devout Buddhists might find a problem with putting the Buddha’s sacred Dhamma on something meant to be used on dirty hands/bodies.

But as an art piece for Instagram it’s good :grin:
