China’s weird Buddha statue competition, the Buddha statues are getting taller and taller. What is the purpose of this?

With the continuous development of my country's tourism industry, many scenic spots will invest huge sums of money to build Buddha statues for tourists to worship. However, in recent years, it is not difficult for the editor to find that the Buddha statues in various scenic spots have fallen into some weird circle. The Buddha statues are getting bigger and bigger. The huge Buddha statues seem to bring gimmicks to the scenic spots, but also bring face to the scenic spots, or the Buddha statues The size can represent the depth of piety and the accuracy of efficaciousness. However, in the end, the huge Buddha statues in many scenic spots did not bring the so-called "benefits" to the builders according to the "expected" effect. So what exactly are the tall Buddha statues built? What's the intention? Do giant Buddha statues really have profound meaning? Next, the editor will take you to analyze it together.

Our country has had the habit of "showing off" and "creating momentum" since ancient times. We also like to compete for the title of "first" in certain fields, as if this can bring us face. , so the editor thinks that our various scenic spots are vying to build giant Buddhas, each one bigger than the other. Is it due to this vanity mentality?

Looking at some of the more well-known scenic giant Buddhas in my country, the Lingshan Giant Buddha is 88 meters, the Leshan Giant Buddha is 71 meters, the Nanshan Giant Buddha is 38.66 meters, the Lushan Giant Buddha is 168 meters, the Jiuhua Mountain Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is 99 meters, etc., one after another. The giant Buddha feels bound to compete to see who is the tallest and who is the most majestic and efficacious. But can the appearance of the Buddha statue really represent the meaning of the Buddha itself?

Although it is often said that "Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes", has the significance of Buddha's original enlightenment been ignored by the builders? The editor feels that the Buddha is rooted in the heart and not simply in appearance. If the worshiper has a Buddha in his heart, even a small and mottled Buddha statue can still make people understand. Let’s see if these tall Buddha bodies have faded. understand the meaning of Buddha itself.

Many scenic spots originally wanted to build momentum through the eye-catching Buddha, compete for the title of No. 1 in the country, Asia, or even the world, and then attract more tourists to the scenic spot. And then earn profits, but everyone knows that this kind of momentum can only be short-lived. If you do not understand the true meaning of the Buddha but simply worship its shape, and there is no real humanistic understanding and you just exaggerate and build to compete for eyeballs, then the "Buddha's heart" is not pure and will eventually be lost. "People's hearts".
