This large Buddha weighs 5.5 tons and is plated with pure gold.
For a donation you receive incense sticks, a garland, and three gold leaf squares. This leaf is 24 karat gold, and sticks to skin very easily, thus the paper enclosure.
By the side of the large Golden Buddha are three smaller ones. What you do is take the gold leaf shown above, and carefully apply it to these smaller ones, by pressing the gold against the statue and rubbing it for a few seconds through the paper.
