Ten Directions Samantabhadra Bodhisattva statue, Buddhist colossal statue in Jinding, China

The Ten Directions Samantabhadra Bodhisattva statue rises 48 meters high, featuring a ten-headed figure seated on a four-headed elephant with six tusks.

The construction of this monumental statue began in the late 1980s and reached completion in 2006, marking a new chapter for Mount Emei Buddhist heritage.

The statue represents Samantabhadra, a central figure in Mahayana Buddhism who embodies wisdom and universal enlightenment through Buddhist teachings and practices.

Visitors can reach the statue through established hiking paths on Mount Emei, with dedicated areas for prayers and offerings at the temple base.

The bronze statue received a gold coating treatment, creating a metallic surface that reflects sunlight across the mountain peaks of the sacred Buddhist site.
