Sleeping Bhudda

Of all of the likenesses of Buddha that we've seen in the past few years (which is too many according to Cody), this was one of the biggest. Reclining at the top of a mountain, this 161 foot sleeping Buddha was solid stone/concrete.

With a peaceful, smiling face, this Buddha lies on his right side with his head resting in the palm of his right hand. The reclining Buddha represents the historical Buddha at his death. It is said that the Buddha knew death was approaching, so he asked his disciples to prepare a couch for him in a grove.
