LeShan DaFo (Happy Mountain Big Buddha) is located in central China's Sichuan province. This seventy-one meter tall Buddha statue was carved into a cliff face about 1,300 years ago. It gained the title of "World's Largest Buddha" after the Taliban government destroyed the cliff-carved Buddha statues in Bamyan, Afghanistan.

  • AbulsaSalafi ur a disgrace,the bayman buddahs in afganistan were incredible and it was destroyed for what? religous pride? U dont see other governments around the world destroying historical buildings or statues, regardless 2 what they are. Im glad the taliban are out. How would you like it if someone bombed mecca? its the same principle.U have no respect for peoples beliefs.

  • at least buddha wasn't a genocidal paedophile, and actually maybe had something worthwhile to say to the world. unlike your own death cult idol.

  • I don't think ur god didnt say to destroy other' religious statue. If he said like that , he didn't deserve to be god, but terrorist .

    By destroying like that, ur religion ll never ever respect by people.

    May buddha bless u all.

  • I don't think that statue will be dynamited by hardcore communists...

  • @MrTeaparties ha ha Black even claims dat jesus was black but as far as i Know buddha was born in nepal and people there are not black at all. lol

  • @capofamiglia187 It belonged to our ancestors who were eventually the indigenous/oldest natives of what they named Afghanistan today. Eventho most of us converted to Islam but to us the indigenous whose ancestors built those Buddhas meant a world. We stood against those radicals till the last breathe. They finally took over that town & forced the very natives to place the explosives to destroy it. We don't practice Buddhism anymore,but we mourned & cried to the loss as if it were our true Mecca.

  • In America blacks say this Buddha was a black Buddha............... I have been to china 6 times and Chinese people don't like black people very well

  • MAYCHEMINAIS IS
