The other thing I kept thinking about during Rosh Hashanah services, despite my best efforts to keep my mind on the prayers.

View of two carved wooden Buddha figures from premodern Japan. The left, seated Buddha is labeled "Amida," which is the Japanese name for Amitabha Buddha. The right, standing Buddha is labeled "Amidah," which is biblical Hebrew for "standing," and it is also the name of a prayer which is repeated a number of times during the High Holy Days liturgy. (The Amidah is the "standing prayer," and you pray it standing up, naturally, but not if you're the Buddha.)
