The work of a pupil who intended to defeat his teacher
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: There is a famous legend, that the two statues are the result of a guru-gola competition, “guru” meaning “teacher, master” and “gola” is “pupil”. This story is an explanation of why the Aukana statue is perfected, whereas the similar Sasseruwa statue is almost finalized but not completely. So the story goes: The Guru constructed the Avukana statue, while his Gola made the statue at Sasseruwa. They had agreed that the first one to complete his statue had to notify this to the other by ringing a bell. The Guru managed to complete his statue earlier and then signaled it by the ringing of a bell. When the Gola heard the sound of the bell, he understood to have lost the competition and instantly ceased continuing his work. This is why the Sasseruwa Buddha remained unfinalized. |
