Second Tallest Statue in the World - Spring Temple Buddha 

Glad you like the video. The Spring Temple Buddha is truly one of great man made wonders of the world.

it's wonderful to see a revival of Buddhism and Buddhist art in China, indeed Buddhism is the only religion of peace, .just sit down and meditate , Namo Amitofo!

Love from thailand 🇹🇭 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very nice, felt as though I was there. I wish I could find the time to travel to China from Boston someday. Chinese are truly amazing people, they have the rich cultural heritage and also the hard work ethic. The statue is a monument to their talent.

Chinese Buddhism (simplified Chinese: 汉传佛教; traditional Chinese: 漢傳佛教; pinyin: Hànchuán Fójiào) refers collectively to the various schools of Buddhism that have flourished in China since ancient times. Buddhism has played an enormous role in shaping the mindset of the Chinese people, affecting their aesthetics, politics, literature, philosophy and medicine.

It's good to see the original symbol of "Good Fortune" on the Buddha's chest. The Nazi regime was destined for failure when they turned such a wonderful symbol into evil.

Congratulation. We need to copy the spring temple buddha statute at Lunngprabang,Laos, coming soon

It's so beautiful temple... Namo Buddha

Thanks,NamoBuddhay

Swastika symbol has 4 arms which, in Buddhism, indicate 4 great truths introduced by Lord Buddha. 4 great truths are called Chotur Arya Sotyani, where Arya means great. The Aryans used to claim themselves as the greatest - the Aryans. While writing " We are the greatest" - they would write - we are Aryans. Later other people thought Aryan is a clan. The Nazi Germans used claimed themselves to be greatest and adopted the symbol Aryans. While for the Buddhists that is the symbol of 4 great truths, for Nazis that is the symbol of great nation. Sometimes there is a wheel behind the head of lord Buddha. It is known as Wheel of Dhamma or Buddhist religion. It has 8 spokes indicating Arya Astangik Maggo i.e. Great Eightfold Path. Thus in a Buddha statue there is symbol of 4 great truths in the chest or Heart and wheel of great eightfold path behind the head.

I remember reading about this before it was constructed. I didn't think it would be possible to build such a large statue.

Please forgive my ignorance, I mean no disrespect, but what is the meaning of the swastika on the chest? TIA

Doesn't look as if it matters what side of the road people drive on.

Noo words to say .....nys clarity👍 .....I felt sooo wow wowww😊

In China there are so many wonderful sites mainly man made worth seeing. Really amazing. Buddha's messages require to be followed by the people of all races, cultures, origins, irrespective of where he/she belong to.

Wow! Magnificent Lord buddha! 🙏🙏🙏

There are approximately 500 millions buddhists follower out of mainland China. China alone has buddhists follower minimally between 700 millions to 1 billion nowaday. If we count Chinese buddhists to the rest, Buddhism will have most follower in the world.

We need Buddha and invaluable timeless wisdom to live a peaceful and meaningful life . That is why we built this monuments we dont need any negative comments from yours filthy hearts please keep back yours dirty comments for yours life .

SO GLAD TO SEE THIS. MAY ALMIGHTY KWANYIN BLESS YOU AND BLESS CHINA FOR RECLAIMING HER BUDDHIST HERITAGE!!!! NAMO KWANYIN PUSA!!!!!!

नमो बुद्धाय🙏

ಬುದ್ಧಂ ಶರಣಂ ಗಚ್ಛಾಮಿ 🙏 Buddham Sharanam Gachami 🙏

Buddhism is great Buddhism way of life

Thank you for the comment. As THE tallest statue in the world (see wikipedia for details) it is an amazing site to behold from any angle. Plus there is the biggest bell in the world next to it, which is just as awesome.

Someday I hope to see. Beautiful

Thank you for the comment. It is really is worth travelling to China, there are truly some amazing sights to see. You will need a year to see everything, as its a very big country.

I am impressed. I'm just wondering why put this is such a remote location? Why not in Beijing or something

This is so beautiful. Thanks for uploading.

Buddha showed u the right path whether you go on that path or not it's up to you, by the way every human being have Buddha nature that's compassion, if you see someone is dying firstly we never what his caste,nationality or race we feel sympathy that's the Buddha nature, n Buddha said you are your own master that's mean you should struggle your self to become enlightenment or nirvana,

Thanks for making this ❤❤

excellent video, for a couple of second si felt like i was there. the video cuality and the sound are superb. great job, very natural video. :)

@Goorney does this place have nothing to do with buddhism? i dont see any monks

This is fascinating, I hope to see it myself one day.

Bhubha beautiful temple in Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

Very nice video. Thanks for posting it and also the subtitles ;)

thanks for sharing this with us. i feel the atmosphere there.hello from czech rep.

Namo buddhaya!

*Statue of unity*

The symbol up there has two meanings for both Japanese and Hindu stuff, in Japan it is called Manji and you can find it at temples in Japan

That statue is fantastic! A plus to the builders!

@hererd5 I'm not sure as there was building work being carried during the visit. There is another level where one can stand next to base of the statue. It would be great if you could go to top like the Statue of Liberty in New York.

Great video, felt like I was there.

Namo budhay... mangal ho.

Buddha Dhamma Sangkha bless you all over the world Buddhism isn't religion it's the way of true life and the way of true life freedom

Magnificent Achievement,Immense Beauty,Very Still Buddha's Great Emptiness

Happy to see this

Excellent job

Hi I was there last month and it's beautiful. The constructions now are pools and spas. I want to know the name of those places. There are still some constructions not finished yet in the Buddha statue. Electric stairs and buildings.

My Lord Buddha

in awe of the size of this lad; absolute unit

Thank you for the video. I have always wanted to have a good view of the statue since I found out it exists. Maybe one day I'll have the same view!

Iam Buddhist form Bangladesh

Listen 0:53 someone’s late for work...

Thankyou for the comment. The statue was built in 2002 so a video needed to made to prove its authenticity.

this place has to be a map in battlefield 4. just think if that huge statue collaps down it will be amazing.

I hope one day i see these magnificent statues of Buddha in india in the upcoming days

Fantastic site to see. What type of recording device did you use? Brand and model. Thanks!

WOW i must travel to see this!

The symbol was made more then 2,000 years ago

I wasn't driving the minibus, plus the oncoming black car was in the wrong lane. From experience this type of driving is very common in China.

🙏🙏🌼🌼🌼

Good information in the video.

BUDDA BLESS EVERY ONE

NICE BUDDA

@TheJunkalos Thank you for the comment, cheers.

man that is huge

how love how it needs a map....

Woww🙏🙏

Spring Temple Buddha

This is most beautiful Buddha.......

Nam Mo A Di Da Phat. So beautiful!!!

It is a swastika used by many religions in Asia such as Hinduism and Buddhism. The German Nazis adopted this symbol in 1920, as a result many people associate this symbol as being evil.

Namoh Buddhay.....

I'll see this one day.

love from Vietnam

its a symbol frequently seen in hinduism too... the swastika

that's some bad driving

2:56 Now youtube may ban your video XD Joking apart, that is a huge statue of buddha.

whats the name of that statue in brazil that looks like jesus?

god buddha

WTF why did you drive against incoming traffic?

@ABThatsMe91 Thanks

They're hard to see but I noticed statues in the niches of the base. Who do they represent?

Bless my soul

Now its no more the tallest statue. It’s statue of unity that stands tall at an height of 182 meters.

Nmo Buddhay jay bheem bahut aachha laga bhagvan buddh ka aashirbad sabhi ko naman

Lovely place.

Great Video!

Damm how the fuck did they build that thing

this countryside is quite hugly, it looks like each and every tree was planted by men and that fog of polution is unbearable.Such a shame.

Namo Buddhaya 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Namo buddhay

Very nice

When I saw the swastika I thought to my self what the hell? So I search it up and said that the swastika is commonly used in buddhism after that I was astonish that they where using the sign

Chinese no. 1: How tall is this Buddha gonna be? Chinese no. 2: Hella. Chinese no. 1: Damn straight.

3:40 whats that song called

if someone can explain the symbols and its hands and chest.
