Summary[edit]
| Description |
At 71 m tall, the statue depicts a seated Maitreya Buddha with his hands resting on his knees. His shoulders are 28 m wide and his smallest toenail is large enough to easily accommodate a seated person. There is a local saying: "The mountain is a Buddha and the Buddha is a mountain". This is partially because the mountain range in which the Leshan Giant Buddha is located is thought to be shaped like a slumbering Buddha when seen from the river, with the Leshan Giant Buddha as its heart. |
