Wikipedia: The Golden Buddha, officially titled Phra Phuttha Maha Suwanna Patimakon, commonly known in Thai as Phra Sukhothai Traimit, is a gold Maravijaya Attitude seated Buddharupa statue, with a weight of 5.5 tons (5,500 kilograms). It is located in the temple of Wat Traimit, Bangkok, Thailand. At one point in its history the statue was covered with a layer of stucco and colored glass to conceal its true value, and it remained in this condition for almost 200 years, ending up as what was then a pagoda of minor significance. During relocation of the statue in 1955, the plaster was chipped off and the gold revealed.
The origins of this statue are uncertain. It is made in the Sukhothai Dynasty style of the 13th–14th centuries, though it could have been made after that time. The head of the statue is egg-shaped, which indicates its origin in the Sukhothai period. Given that Sukothai art had Indian influences and metal figures of the Buddha made in India used to be taken to various countries mostly during the Pala period.

Koe-Thaung was the most memorable temple in Mrauk U, Myanmar, built by King Dikkha of the Arakanese Kingdom between 1554 and 1556. The inner/upper passageway, seen here, is lined with hundreds of Buddha scultures throughout. Mrauk-U, Rakhine State, Myanmar.
Quinta dos Loridos, where the impressive Buddha Eden - the largest oriental garden in Europe, can be found. The oriental garden with around 35 hectares of land was created as a reaction to the destruction of the Buddhas of Banyan, in which one of the greatest acts of cultural barbarity took place, erasing masterpieces of late-period Gandhara art.

Buddhadarstellungen unterscheiden sich in der Körperhaltung. Dabei symbolisiert jede Körperhaltung etwas anderes. Dies hier ist die Geste der Wunschgewährung. Die offenen fünf Finger stehen für die fünf Perfektionen: Moral, Geduld, Fleiß, Großzügigkeit und meditative Versenkung. Die Geste symbolisiert das Versprechen Buddhas allen Menschen den Weg zur Erlösung zu zeigen.

Reclining Buddhas are commonplace in Thailand and also here in Laos.
A reclining Buddha is an image that represents Buddha lying down and is a major iconographic theme in Buddhist art. It represents the historical Buddha during his last illness, about to enter the parinirvana. He is lying on his right side, his head resting on a cushion or relying on his right elbow, supporting his head with his hand.
This pattern seems to have emerged at the same time as other representations of the Buddha in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara.
Amazing place for relaxing and take the artistic pictures.

One of my early digital pics, and still one of my faves.
Huge statue of the Buddha in a monastery in Mechukha in the state of Arunachal Pradesh in north-east India.
177 ft tall this massive sitting Buddha is sited in the capital city Thimpu, Bhutan. Lord Buddha here is believed to bestow happiness, blessings and peace to the common people of the city and the country. Surrounded with small statues of Bodhisattva, the towering statue can be seen many miles away from anywhere in the city. The holy temple in side the statue is decorated with 1,25,000 small Buddhas along with beautiful paintings on the wall depicting ancient Buddhist legends.
Surrounded with huge snow capped mountains, a very calm and tranquil place with positive vibrations all around. Wonderful place to realize inner peace of mind and a worthy travel destination in Bhutan.
The Big Buddha is a large bronze sculpture of Buddha, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, near Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island, Hong Kong.
The sculpture's base is a model of the one in the United Kingdom. One of the five large Buddha images in China, it is enthroned on a lotus on top of a three-platform altar. Surrounding it are six smaller bronze images known as "The Offering of the Six Devas" that are posed offering flowers, incense, lamp, ointment, fruit, and music to the Buddha, representing the Six Perfections of generosity, morality, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom, necessary for Enlightenment in life.
The 34 m (112 ft) tall image weighs over 250 metric tons (280 short tons), and was constructed from 202 bronze pieces. In addition to the exterior components, there is a strong steel framework inside to support the heavy load. Visitors have to climb 268 steps to reach the Buddha. The Buddha's right hand is raised, representing the removal of affliction, while the left rests open on his lap in a gesture of generosity.

Een bekend hoofd is ook weer terug in Kijkduin.
Tekstbijdrage van Ben The Man: "In sommige delen van Azië, met name in landen waar het boeddhisme de overheersende religie is, is het inderdaad gebruikelijk om niet zozeer over "de Boeddha" zelf te spreken, maar eerder over het beeld of de afbeelding van Boeddha. Dit komt voort uit een diep respect voor Boeddha en de overtuiging dat zijn aanwezigheid in zekere zin wordt weerspiegeld in de beelden die ter ere van hem zijn gemaakt. Voor veel boeddhisten zijn deze beelden een middel om hun geloof en devotie tot uitdrukking te brengen, en soms worden ze zelfs gezien als een bron van spirituele kracht en zegen.
Hoewel het gebruik van termen als "het Boeddha beeld" of "de Boeddha afbeelding" misschien ongewoon of zelfs ongebruikelijk lijkt in de westerse cultuur, is het belangrijk om te onthouden dat verschillende culturen en religies hun eigen unieke taal en tradities hebben ontwikkeld om hun geloof en overtuigingen uit te drukken grinning face with smiling eyes"
