The Zhongyuan Buddha (Template:Zh; Template:Lit and Template:Zh) or better known in English as the Spring Temple Buddha is a colossal statue depicting Vairocana Buddha[citation needed] located in Foquan Temple (Template:Zh; Template:Lit) in the Zhaocun township of Lushan County, Henan, China, built between 1997 and 2008. It is located within the Fodushan Scenic Area, close to National Freeway 311. At 128 metres (420 ft), excluding a 25-metre (82 ft) lotus throne, it is the second-tallest statue in the world after the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, India, which surpassed it in 2018 with a height of 182 metres (597 ft).[2][3]
Description
Taking into account the 25-metre (82 ft) pedestal/building atop which it is placed, the monument has a total height of 153 metres (502 ft). As of October 2008[update], the hill on which the statue stands was reshaped to form two further pedestals, the upper one being 15 m tall. The total height of the monument is now said to be 208 m (682 ft).[4][5]
The overall project was estimated to cost about US$55 million, with US$18 million allocated to the statue itself. It was originally estimated to consist of 1,100 pieces of copper cast, with a total weight of 1,000 tonnes.[6]
The Spring Temple Buddha derives its name from the nearby Tianrui hot spring, whose water, at 60 °C (140 °F), is renowned in the area for its curative properties. The Foquan Temple, built during the Tang dynasty, houses the Bell of Good Luck, placed on top of the Dragon Head peak. This bronze bell weighs 116 tonnes.[7]
Inscribed within the statue's chest is a small swastika, the ancient Indian symbol of good fortune.
