Buddha said that the cause of all unhappiness is Desire. If you cannot have something, you become frustrated and unhappy. I desired this lamp when I saw it in the window of an Indian/Asian shop downtown.I am happy (Yes, I am!) to say that I no longer desire this lamp....because I bought it....
It is true that the lamp itself does not make me happy; my friends and family do.
But I DO enjoy looking at it...
See more d's at ABC WEDNESDAY.

Great "D" post. That is a very unique lamp and I am glad you conquered your "desire".
Great word for D day, if desire is not kept in check, we could ruin our life and health. Glad you are enjoying your Desired Lamp.
I would enjoy looking at it, too! And what a great post for the D Day! Hope your week is going well!

Good job. That you bought the lamp is wonderful - it looks spectacular. I can imagine what a pleasure it would be to sit near it.
A very lovely warm glow. Continue to enjoy your desired lamp.
Ah, the perfect blend of Eastern and Western philosophy. You made the right decision - and took a beautiful photo.
I Don't know about Desire, but it is cool looking. Wondering how big it is and will it fit in an RV. ;)
My daughter would DIE for that lamp! Very unique!

And to go back one week, I now covet and crave this fabulous lamp. Good for you for giving in to your desire for it!
A lamp! LOL, I was wondering why the Buddha was glowing when I saw the thumbnail in the portal.
A wonderful looking lamp.

I'm trying to keep desire in check, not always successfully!

Happy ABC Wednesday.

Although I am a Christian, I find other religions' beliefs speak to me and give me much peace. This is one.
