Who knows where the Lindong Giant Buddha is?

Lindong Buddha: Located at the foot of Lushan Mountain, Wenquan Town, Xing Zi County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, China, it is the symbol of the birthplace of Pure Land Sect (Tolin Temple) and the tallest statue of Amitabha in China and even the world.

The 48-meter-long Amitabha Buddha statue is the core, and its components include Pure Land Cultural Area, New Tolin Temple, Bhikuni Academy, Hermit Cultural Area, Anyang Area, Haihuitang Temple Temple and Dade Jingshe Area. The buildings with the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty are arranged along the central axis, showing the classic architectural spatial organization form of the ancient sacred mountain buildings in China. The main buildings of the central axis are unfolded in turn, and the architectural space is open and closed in an orderly manner, ups and downs.

Extended data:

Amitabha Buddha has two great bodhisattvas, namely Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Great Trend Bodhisattva. Together, they are called the "Three Saints of the West". The Pure Land Sect of Buddhism in China was founded by Master Hui Yuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the Tuolin Temple in Lushan Mountain, and advocated Buddhist practice, also known as Lotus Sect. Therefore, Tolin Temple in Lushan Mountain is called the ancestral home of Pure Land Sect.

Several generations of abbots of Tolin Temple have great ambitions to build a giant Buddha. Since Shi Daan was appointed as the acting curator of the Tuolin Temple (the current chairman of the Chinese Buddhist Association, Master Chuan Xian), he has been rushing to build the Lindong Buddha. Finally, with the support of ten believers, Lindong Buddha was built. The cost of Lindong Giant Buddha and other supporting facilities is 10 billion yuan. These billions are donations from ten believers.

After the completion of Lindong Giant Buddha, it will give up commercial operation and open for free. Shi Daan resisted the pressure and rejected some people's attempts to commercialize Torin Temple.

Lindong Giant Buddha is 48 meters high and 48 kilograms gilded. Because Amitabha's name before he became a Buddha was a Buddhist monk, and the Buddhist monk made forty-eight wishes. After endless practice, he finally achieved Amitabha and achieved the western paradise.
