Jai is fascinated with Buddhas. I became aware of this one day when a friend commented that Jai himself seemed like a little Buddha. Hearing this, Jai looked up at me and touched his forehead, his third eye. "Jai, do you know what a Buddha is?" I asked. He was 17 months old and understood several words in sign language. Jai took my hand and led me down to the lily pond. He reached out to the Buddha statue and touched its third eye. Then with the same hand he touched his own and gazed at me, smiling. He knew the Buddha.
