The worlds largest statue of the Buddha, Daibutsu.
It is 30 meters tall and weighs 250 tons.
When you walk into the Great Buddha Hall at the Todai-ji Temple and
you see this large, beautiful Buddha before you, is to be engulfed by
Peace.
I picked this photo so you can see the wonderful workmanship in this
hall.
This Temple complex was started in 735, re-build twice after fires and
earthquakes.
The current building was finished in 1709.
Thanks to g-mail/internet this post has taken two day and the order
has been messed up.
The photo of the Todia-Ji Temple should be first but I am happy most
of the photos made it to the blog !
