Very good idea. And I like your shadow, which works into the subject matter nicely. I like how each Buddhist shrines is unique. We have many Buddhists in my city. Don't normally see Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva (guardian of the underworld) idols. Traditionally, he is seen as the guardian of children, and in particular, children who died before their parents. The jewel in his hand is to provide light in the underworld as he leads the children out of Hell, where they went because they hadn't lived long enough to do all the good deeds required for Heaven. As you may guess, he is beloved. V
