Almost forgot about what i want to ask here :P . Ok may i know if its ok to put the buddhist symbol of the eye and the " nose " on my 2m rc glider's wings ? Most of the time i will take apart the wings for easy storage and assembling it together only for flying . But will it cause any dispute , insult or degrading or whatever non-respectfull actions or karma ? The whole symbol will be on middle of the wings . And i seriously thought of putting a few more auspicious signs on the wings or body as well . But if its not ok then i won't do it . Just asking for some views and comments on it . Anyway vesak day also comming .
it depends on your actual motivation actually.... If is taken as a decoration then i would say is bad....
but if your motiovation is when you flying the plane and the wind touches the symbols and mantra and is to liberate all mother sentient beings then i would say is good method... I have an umbrella with the Om mani Padme Hung lotus symbol and mantra my motivation is that when it rains, the rain touches the water and in turn flow to the ground etc.. it liberate all sentient being that touches these water and the sight of these symbols liberate them.. then it would be good....
but do note, that the plane in storage should be kept in a high respectable place.
i think word like Namo (Buddha/bodhisattva name), or buddhist symbol should be ok or even meritorious in the sense it help plant a dharma seed for sentient beings. old master said can print t-shirts writing Namo Amituofo for people to see. :)
however for Buddha images or statues, it's bad karma if u cut the body part as display for self benefit. do treat them with a respectful mind. if need to expose a defected statue, can take to a temple and ask the monk/nun to do it.
but it's not advisable to collect Buddhist statues/antique with craving. that's attachment and one would end up taking birth as rodent/pest living in them.

I wonder did you notice that it is a trend now that Buddhists print stickers with Amitabha's or Buddha's images for sticking onto the MRT cards or whatever cards.
I have one too. Do you think it is ok ? At first, I'm not comfortable with it but my friend told me there's nothing wrong because it is like Amitabha always by our side.

is it? i didn't notice. full body Amitabha should be okay. it's like small cards issue at any Buddhist centers. treat with respect can already. if uncomfortable, can stick on some where more comfortable, like upper door entrance?

You can, but people will think it's a WW2 Luftwaffe plane.
Ok then think i better don't put that symbol on it . Guess i better stick to anime pictures :P .
