Tian Tan Buddha, also known as the Big Buddha, is a large bronze statue of Buddha Shakyamuni, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in Hong Kong. The statue is sited near Po Lin Monastery and symbolises the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and faith. It is a major centre of Buddhism in Hong Kong, and is also a popular tourist attraction.[1]

Description

The statue is named Tian Tan Buddha because its base is a model of the Altar of Heaven or Earthly Mount of Tian Tan, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. One of the five large Buddha statues in China, it is enthroned on a lotus on top of a three-platform altar.[2] Surrounding it are six smaller bronze statues known as “The Offering of the Six Devas” that are posed offering flowers, incense, lamp, ointment, fruit, and music to the Buddha. These symbolise the Six Perfections of generosity, morality, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom, all of which are necessary for enlightenment.[citation needed]

The statue is 34 metres (112 ft) tall, 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. Reputedly the figure can be seen across the bay from as far away as Macau on a clear day. Visitors have to climb 268 steps to reach the Buddha,[2] though the site also features a small winding road for vehicles to accommodate the handicapped. 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. He faces north, which is unique among the great Buddha statues, as all others face south.[citation needed]

There are also three floors beneath the statue: the halls of the Universe, of Benevolent Merit and of Remembrance. One of the most renowned features inside is a relic of Gautama Buddha,[3] consisting of some of his alleged cremated remains. Only visitors who purchase an offering for the Buddha are allowed to see the relic, entering to leave it there. There is a huge carved bell inscribed with images of Buddhas in the show room. It was designed to ring every seven minutes, 108 times a day, symbolising the release of 108 kinds of human vexations.[citation needed]

History

The Tian Tan Buddha was constructed beginning in 1990, and was finished on 29 December 1993, which the Chinese reckon as the day of the Buddha’s enlightenment. When the statue was completed, monks from around the world were invited to the opening ceremony. Distinguished visitors from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and the United States all took part in the proceedings.[4]

On 18 October 1999, the Hong Kong Post Office issued a definitive issue of landmark stamps, of which the HK$2.50 value depicts the Tian Tan Buddha.[5] On 22 May 2012 it was also featured on the HK$3 value of the Five Festival set, this one celebrating the birth of Sakyamuni Buddha. The MTR corporation has also issued a souvenir ticket featuring a photograph of the statue.[citation needed]

 بوذا الكبير ودير بو لين

بوذا الكبير ودير بو لين

كان دير بو لين في الماضي ديرًا نائيًا تحتضنه الأعشاب الخصبة ومناظر الجبال، إلاّ أنّه برز على خريطة العالم عندما انتصب تمثال تيان تان بوذا (المعروف بشكل غير رسمي ببوذا الكبير) عام 1993. يجتذب تمثال بوذا البرونزي المهيب الذي يرتفع 34 متراً عن الأرض حجاجاً من جميع أنحاء آسيا، ويقف مواجهاً للشمال ليطلّ على الشعب الصيني.

تجتمع العينان والشفتان وانحناءة الرأس واليد اليمنى التي ارتفعت لتبارك الجميع لتضفي فطنةً وكرامةً إلى تمثال بوذا الكبير الذي استغرق انجازه 12 سنة. اصعد الدرجات المئتين والثمانية والستين لتشاهد عن كثب هذا التمثال اللافت وتستمتع بمناظر الجبل والبحر الفاتنة التي يمكن رؤيتها من قاعدته.

في الجهة المقابلة للتمثال، يشكّل دير بو لين واحداً من أهم الأماكن المقدّسة في هونغ كونغ وقد أطلق عليه اسم ’العالم البوذي في الجنوب‘. يزخر هذا الدير، الذي يعتبر مأوى للعديد من الرهبان المتديّنين، بأيقونات بوذية زاهية الألوان وتتراقص حديقته الجميلة على تغريد العصافير وعطور الأزهار. يمكنك أن تطلق العنان لشهيتك في مطعم الدير النباتي الشعبي.
