Where is the largest reclining Buddha in the world?

The influence of Buddhist culture on a global scale is very deep, and Buddhism has a long history in China, but after a long period of development, Buddhism has formed Chinese Buddhism with Chinese characteristics. In the long river of history, Buddhism reached its peak in our country during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and temples were being built in China at that time. I'm going to talk to you about the world's largest reclining Buddha.

This reclining Buddha is not in the country, but in Myanmar, which everyone knows is also a country that is heavily influenced by Buddhism. In Myanmar, almost 90% of the attractions are various pagodas, Buddha statues and temples, and Buddhism plays a very important role in the history and culture of Myanmar and the daily life of the Burmese people.

There is even a rule in Myanmar that every boy must become a monk once before the age of 19, which is not very surprising. The topic goes back to what we call the Reclining Buddha, the name of the reclining Buddha in Myanmar is - Talon Reclining Buddha, which is still very well-known in Myanmar, and many friends who travel to Myanmar will also go to see this reclining Buddha.

It is understood that this reclining Buddha is built by man, the whole Buddha statue is 180 meters long, 34 meters high, there are 8 floors hidden in the body of the Buddha statue, there are various sculptures and memorial halls about Buddhism, the weight is 400 tons, there is really no greater reclining Buddha in the world.

In fact, looking at ** and looking at the numbers, people can't feel how big this reclining Buddha is, no concept, then take the basketball court to compare, some people have calculated, even if 6 standard basketball courts are connected from end to end, there is still no big reclining Buddha. Many friends who have traveled to this country say that you will never see the whole picture of this Buddha statue at the foot of the mountain, so you can imagine how big this Buddha statue is.

However, many people are more afraid of this reclining Buddha, why is this? This reclining Buddha is actually very delicately carved, not only with thin eyebrows, a high nose bridge, but also very curly eyelashes, and the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, as if smiling at people.

But it is precisely because of this that people feel afraid, feel very scary, some tourists say that especially the huge eyes of the Buddha statue are so quietly looking ahead, giving people an invisible sense of oppression, making people feel frightened, in fact, you look carefully** will also feel that this is a little weird.

However, in the eyes of the people of Myanmar, this is very normal, and many tourists are not used to it, just because the Buddha statues they usually see are not like this. But in fact, this is just the difference in the appearance of the Buddha statue, after all, every country in the world has different cultural customs that affect Buddhism, so it is understandable that the appearance of the Buddha statue is different.

The world's largest reclining Buddha is the Talung Reclining Buddha, located on the back of a mountain in Mudong, 29 kilometers south of Mawlamyine, Myanmar, built in 1948 in the Win Sain Doye forest, which is a well-known place in Myanmar in recent years.

It is formed by a mountain body that runs about ten miles long from east to west, and is also known as the sleeping Buddha of ten miles. The Reclining Buddha Scenic Area is in the south of Yeliguan Town.

It is formed by a mountain body that runs about ten miles long from east to west, and is also known as the sleeping Buddha of ten miles. He lies on the top of the mountain at a relative height of nearly 400 meters, with clear outlines of his feet and legs, chest and abdomen, and face, his posture is stretched and burly, and his face is peaceful. Wearing a high-crowned Buddha hat, his eyes are slightly closed, his eyebrows and beard can be argued one by one, he is dressed in a yellowed robe, and he is wearing boots.

This sleeping Buddha is completely created by nature and does not have any artificial carvings. It seems that the demeanor is facing the sky on the back and closing the eyes to recuperate, and its god shape is still realistic in the morning glow, and it is even more form and spirit in the moonlight. This spectacle attracted countless tourists, and in 1994 the Xinhua News Agency telegraph called it:

It is the second stone Buddha after the Leshan Dabei Potato Buddha. It is also the largest and most vivid of the three reclining Buddhas found in our country. "In the same year, the overseas edition of "People**" made a special introduction.

1. The world's largest reclining Buddha is located in Longmen Rock, Guifeng Scenic Area, Yiyang County, Jiangxi Province.

2. The reclining Buddha is 416 meters long, the height difference of the Buddha is 68 meters, it is carved by using the mountain, and the natural mountain shows the artistic charm of the Shakyamuni Nirvana group diagram, which is the world's largest Buddha image.

Designed by the famous artist Nima Zeren, according to the Longmen Rock Mountain is more than 400 meters long, the peak height is 110 meters, the maximum pinnacle drop is 40 meters, the natural appearance resembles the characteristics of a reclining Buddha, the rich connotation of Buddhist culture is drawn, and the Buddha carving group with the Buddha Nirvana as the main body is determined to be carved here.

Every country has different religious believers, and religious buildings such as Buddha statues and temples are very common in China. The most famous Buddha statue in China is probably the Leshan Giant Buddha. Buddhism originated in India, so India is a great Buddhist country.

However, it is well known that the largest reclining Buddha in the world is not in China or India, but in the Southeast Asian country of Myanmar, which we are all familiar with.

When Bian Xiao traveled to Myanmar, he found that there are actually many Buddha statues and temples in Myanmar, and Buddha statues can often be seen in some scenic spots. Even so, I couldn't help but marvel at the world's largest reclining Buddha because it was just so big. This reclining Buddha is located on the back of a mountain in southern Morman, Myanmar.

According to a local guide, this reclining Buddha is known as the Talon Reclining Buddha. It weighs about 400 tons, has a length of about 180 meters and a height of 40 meters. However, the world's largest reclining Buddha amazed me, a tourist who often sees Buddha statues.

In 1994, a senior monk in Morman began raising funds to rebuild the reclining Buddha in Talon. Unfortunately, before it could be completed, the senior monk died. It was not until the local villagers spontaneously organized themselves to donate money that it was successfully built.

In fact, there are many followers of Buddhism in Myanmar. Before Bien Shaw, in some temples in Myanmar, you can basically see countless people worshipping, and the incense is generally very strong. Although the Buddha statue in Talung is a Buddha statue, it is actually like a "building".

The Talon Reclining Buddha has eight steps, and the interior is dominated by pale red. There is an endless stream of people who come here every day to worship the Buddha, whether they are locals or tourists from other places.

However, when Bian Xiao saw this reclining Buddha, she felt embarrassed. In our impression, Buddha statues are generally sacred, solemn, and lifelike, but the expression of the reclining Buddha in Talung looks a little weird, as if smiling rather than smiling. And because the entire Buddha statue is painted with thick paint, the lips are thick and as bright as lipstick.

When a fellow tourist saw it, he joked, "This must be heavy makeup!" "There are also tourists who say:

I feel a little scared when I look at it? ”

At the foot of the reclining Buddha in Talong, visitors cannot see the full picture of the Buddha statue. It is precisely because it is so large that they can only see it fully if they climb to the top of the Buddha. Looking at the wide eyes and vivid eyelashes on the Buddha statue up close, Bian Xiao couldn't help but feel a little scared.

At the top, however, in addition to the Buddha statue, you can also see a panoramic view of the entire city. It is worth mentioning that the center of the eyebrows of the Buddha statue can accommodate three people standing at the same time. You can imagine how big this reclining Buddha is.

Bian Xiao believes that although it is a bit "scary" to see the Talon Reclining Buddha up close, if you look at it from a distance, it is still quite spectacular. Other visitors also say that at least at first glance they will be blown away, and that it is a unique experience. What do you think of the world's largest reclining Buddha in Myanmar?

Ancient construction. In ancient times, the confluence of the three rivers of Leshan, the three rivers of Minjiang, Qingyi River and Dadu River converged at the foot of Lingyun Mountain, and the water potential was quite fierce. Whenever there is a summer flood, the river water hits the mountain wall, often causing the tragedy of boat destruction and death.
