Donglin Buddha, Bronze statue at Donglin Temple, Jiujiang, China
The Donglin Buddha reaches 48 meters high and features a gold-plated surface, standing as a central figure at the Donglin Temple complex in Jiujiang.
The statue, completed in 2013, required substantial funding of one billion yuan through donations from Buddhist practitioners and philanthropists worldwide.
This representation of Amitabha Buddha continues the religious heritage of Donglin Temple, which originated as a center for Pure Land Buddhism in 386 CE.
The statue stands on the northwestern slope of Mount Lushan, maintaining visibility from multiple angles throughout the Jiujiang region.
Local craftsmen applied 48 kilograms of gold during the final construction phase to create the exterior finishing of this monumental structure.
