Feel the Serenity at the Giant Buddha’s Feet
The Tian Tan Buddha located at Ngong Ping on Lantau Island, Honk Kong, is the largest outdoor bronze seated Buddha statue in the world. It is 34 meters and weighs 250 tonnes. It is one of the five large Buddha statues in China and is a major tourist attraction and an important center for Buddhism. The statue is called Tian Tan because of its base which is a model of the Earthly Mount Tian Tan in Beijing, also called as the Temple or Altar of Heaven. Due to its sheer size, it is called as the Giant Buddha and can be seen from as far as Macau, on a clear day.
The statue was completed in 1993. In order to reach the Giant Buddha, visitors have to climb 268 steps, although there is a road made to accommodate vehicles in case of handicapped persons. The Giant Buddha sits on a throne shaped like a lotus flower, atop a three-platform altar. Around the statue are 8 smaller statues of gods. Beneath the statue are three floors, with one hall on each: The Hall of Universe, The Hall of Benevolent Merit, and The Hall of Remembrance. A relic of Sakyamuni is contained inside, along with some of his cremated remains. Another attraction is a huge bell inscribed with the images of the Buddha, initially designed to ring every 7 minutes, 108 times a day, meant to signify the release of 108 kinds of human vexes.
The Giant Buddha symbolizes harmony between man and nature, people and religion. This is evident on the serene and dignified expression on the statue’s face. Like all other Buddha statues, this is also highly symbolic of Buddha’s teachings. The raised right hand shows removal of affliction and the left hand, resting on the lap, shows a gesture of giving dhana. However, unlike other statues of the Buddha, which face south, this one faces north. The statue is also an image of Buddha Amitabha, like the Daibutsu in Kamakura, Japan.
The Giant Buddha is located away from the main Hong Kong Island, so you can choose to stay at a Hong Kong hotel nearby and take the skyrail in the early morning hours to visit and spend the day at the feet of the Giant Buddha. The Cosmopolitan Hotel is among the recommended Hong Kong Island hotels for you to check out.
How should we buddhists protect Buddhism as some religion keeps attacking Buddhism ?
Hi ! I’m from Thailand and 95 % of thai population, I don’t know if Thailand has the highest population of buddhists in the world by percentage ? In the past Buddhism was really popular in Central Asian, Malaysia, and those Indonesians islands. Now those regions are islamic countries. I have seen the pictures of Bamiyam being bombed in Afghanistan and Buddha Statue being demolished in malaysia. And for the past 5-6 years, in the border of Thailand and Malaysia, torrorists has been attacking Buddhists people and asking to make islamic area. They’ve destroyed many schools and temples so they can brainwsh young people. What can I do to protect my country and Buddhism as a 17 y/o boy ?
Please,,, I hate wars
Allan Wallace in ‘Tibetan Buddhism from the Ground up’ has a good advice : “Righteous hatred’ is in the same category as ‘righteous cancer’ or ‘righteous tuberculosis’. All of them are absurd concepts.”
This does not mean that One should never take action against aggression or injustice! Instead, one should try to develop an inner calmness and insight to deal with these situations in an appropriate way. We all know that anger and aggression give rise to anger and aggression. One could say that there are three ways to get rid of anger: kill the opponent, kill yourself or kill the anger – which one makes most sense to you?” (you should read this in http://viewonbuddhism.org/anger.html )
Although we will never know what is the best choice for dealing with situational matter, we have some guidance from the Buddha among many, that we should take into consideration in deciding what is the best attitute toward what you claim:
1. “If anyone should criticise me, the Dhamma or the Sangha, you should not on that account be angry, resentful or upset. For if you were, that would hinder you, and you would be unable to know whether they said right or wrong” “So, if others criticise me, the Dhamma or the Sangha, then simply explain what is incorrect, saying: ‘That is incorrect, that is not right, that is not our way, and we do not do that.”’
Let us help a man out of ignorance in the spirit of Metta-Karuna, and as the Buddha so clearly said “simply explain what is incorrect”.
2. “He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me of my property. Whosoever harbor such thoughts will never be able to still their enmity.”
3. “Never indeed is hatred stilled by hatred; it will only be stilled by non-hatred — this is an eternal law.”
“Conquer anger by non-anger. Conquer evil by good. Conquer miserliness by liberality. Conquer a liar by truthfulness”. — Dhp., v. 223
4.”Truly we dwell in happiness, as we do not hate, while others hate. Amidst those who are filled with hatred we live appeased, free of hatred.” Dhammapada 197
5. “Suppose some bandits catch one of you and sever his body limb from limb with a two-handed saw, and if he should feel angry thereby even at that moment, he is no follower of my teaching.” – Kakacupama Sutta, Majjhima Nikaya 21
6. If we recall to mind the law of kamma, our anger may subside immediately. We can consider such a situation in another way too. Evil doer will reap evil in due time, not necessarily from our direct feedback to his action.
7. “It is natural for the immature to harm others. Getting angry with them is like resenting a fire for burning.” – Shantideva
