A friend took this slightly fuzzy picture of me, which shows how large it really is! The total length is 46 meters.



Pot of Coins

For a donation you receive this pot of coins. By the side of the Reclining Buddha are 108 small pots, one for each auspicious sign of the Buddha. The tradition is to toss a coin into each pot, thus blessing you to live to be 100+ years old!
