Carved into Lingyun Mountain in China’s Sichuan province, the Leshan Giant Buddha dates back to the eighth century.

The Leshan Giant Buddha in the southern part of Sichuan province in China. At 71 meters tall, it's the largest and tallest stone Buddha statue in the world. Construction started during the Tang dynasty in 713 CE and was completed in exactly 90 years.

There is a local saying: "The mountain is a Buddha and the Buddha is a mountain". This is partially because the mountain range in which the Leshan Giant Buddha is located is thought to be shaped like a slumbering Buddha when seen from the river, with the Leshan Giant Buddha as its heart.

If you don't mind I have a question about Islamic culture, I'm thinking about how Christians have statues of Christ and saints, other religions have statues of the Buddah and Hindu gods, it's a very common thing across many religions. Judaism doesn't really have that as far as I know but there aren't really prophets in the same way as xtianity. But Islam does have various prophets and significant historical figures, but I have never seen any statues made in their images. Is this a thing, not allowed or just not culturally uh, common I guess? Thank you :3

Islam has always pertained to a rather iconoclastic tradition and has shown fierce opposition to visual imagery in various forms, while some schools and branches of Islam are not as strict. Historically, alternative forms of art have been produced as a result. Indeed, Islamic art are traditionally non-representational in the form of Islamic calliography and Islamic geometric patterns, which is usually seen in mosque, shrines and various Islamic buildings.

The basis for the impermissibility of such visual imagery in the form of sculptures or carved objects representing a living being is rooted in Islam's strict monotheistic approach. The nascent Muslim community had to deal with the polytheist tribe of Quraish which worshiped idols in the form of sculptures. The Prophet Muhammed (sawas) showed disdain for such worshiping and exemplified their uselessness to the people by throwing them to the ground.

However, while sculpturing is pretty much a non-go, this impermissibility is not extended to art in the form of two-dimensional figures. While various schools of Islam differ in the opinion of drawing, not all of them are unanimous, this has allowed for Islamic art to take the shape of form in different ways. For example, Shi'a Islam allows visual respresentation through the use of a two-dimensional surface, such as a canvas, regardless of whether it is a living being or not. This is why you'll find that art of the prophets, imams and the holy ladies are pretty commonplace among Shi'a Muslims.

While sculpturing any object representing a living being is unanimously considered impermissible in all Islamic schools of law, art in the form two-dimensional paintings are not.

Some bitch on Twitter: Where can a Christian woman go to get her nails done without being surrounded by statues of Buddah? I’m done paying women who have nothing in common with me spiritually big bucks to do my nails. I want a person who knows the Lord to do my nails. Seems logical.

Terzo on his secret troll account: I think Jesus got his nails done by some Roman guys. Hope that helps.

We had this exact statue when I was a kid. Mom got it from our great-aunt whose husband, a marine, brought it home from occupied Japan. It's a beautiful white porcelain sculpture of Kanzeon seated on lotus base & it's about two feet tall. It sat on a credenza in our dining room & we were NOT allowed to touch it!

My aunt called it Kannon, Mom called it Kwan Yin & my little sister called "Kwan Yin in the Artichoke". She has it now. It's prominently displayed in her home & all of our kids & grandchildren call it Kwan Yin in the Artichoke...

Okay i've seen the spoiler Pokémon and I'm gonna gibe some quick thoughts but spoilers spoilers

So Archaludon is still numero uno best new Pokémon from this batch, easily, I like Gouging Fire. I feel like it will grow on me more over time like Raging Bolt did but its really cool, its surprisingly normal. I just dont get the iron Pokémon because it feels like they had absolutely no idea what to do with most of them. Like Valiant is kinda the only interesting one. Jugulus is the only one that I think sucks but like... the sword trio is crazy uninteresting. They feel like an artist shrugging

My only issue with these guys is with Terrapagos. Because the box art version being its Terastal form is cool and all, but all that means is that if its ever transferrable to future games it wont be able to do that. Like none of the mega or Gmax capable polemon had designs that fully relied on them using that gimmick. Urshifu is still baller as fuck when he isnt giant bear buddah statue mode. SV continues to make me wary of future games. But so far I already like this DLC better than teal mask. The music is much better for one thing

Im excited to meet that poison ghost guy, he looks like a little japanese ghost in a walnut, he's gotta be based on some specific story. I like him a lot tho. And obviously Hydrapple is amazing, nothing much to say look at it

Through your eyes I saw the red sun burst and slowly melt into the Dead Sea... Through your eyes I watched your hand expand, and crush a dozen Trees, like they were dead leaves. Through your ears I heard the mountain laugh, the banshee cry, the statue of Mohammed roll a dice to plastic Buddah, screaming "Christ! Another six - I guess it's time to pack my Things and head back slowly to Nirvana.” Through your senses I kissed dying Time... 

So it goes we stand alone by standing stones and turn them into circles.

DAY 9: Beijing: The Lama Temple, Confucius Temple, Imperial College & Olympic Park 

Our delightful guide, Cathy, picked us up and proceeded to our first stop, the Lama Temple (as in Dali Lama…not the animal). Also known as the Harmony & Peace Palace Lamasery, it’s a functioning Tibetan Buddhist Temple built initially in 1694. The temple grounds consist of several pagoda styled pavilions, each with huge seated golden Buddahs and their alters.  The most impressive, a three story pavilion contained an immense standing Buddha, 85 feet high, carved from a single sandalwood log and was surrounded by more than ten thousand Buddha statues!

Buddhist monks roamed the grounds in their red robes through the prevailing smoke and smell of incense.  Many Chinese passed from one pavilion to the next, lighting three sticks of incense, holding them up, them then bowing several times.  They would next rotate and repeat the act in four directions, (north, south, east & west) in order for God to see them fully and hear their prayers, according to our guide. 

A short walk led us to the Confucius Temple, where people have paid homage since 1302.  It is the second largest temple constructed for Confucius, the greatest thinker and educationalist in ancient China. A much quieter venue, but equally as lovely, the pavilions contained giant Buddahs, alters, and ornate woodwork and drawings.

Adjacent, its neighbor in the west is Beijing Guozijan: The Imperial Academy, which was the highest  place  of learning in China's traditional educational system and an integral part of the Confucian system of education for government officials.  It was originally founded as far back as 3 CE, when a standard nationwide school system was established. 

After a full morning of ancient China we headed to the controversial modern architecture of the Beijing Galaxy.  This wonderful amalgamation of skytowers, skylights and skybridges wouldn’t be out of place in a sci-fi movie! It is Beijing’s largest mall, designed by internationally acclaimed architects, Zaha Hadid and is deemed a marvel by some and an eyesore by others. 

Back to our hotel with farewells to our guide who leaves us with amazing memories, an expanded understanding of the history and culture of the country, and an appreciation for the generosity and kindness the Chinese people have extended to us on our visit.

But one last adventure awaited as we headed out on our own to ride the Metro to the Olympic Park. It was our first foray in China, sans guide, but after 9 days thought we were ready. Using our translate app and pantomime, we enlisted the help of some kindly Metro workers to buy tickets and select the train in the right direction. The Olympic Park by night was gorgeous!! The "Bird Nest" stadium, the Olympic towers and the huge (albeit mostly deserted) shopping village were impressive!

The huge comfortable bed at the Kuntai Royal Hotel awaited these two worn out travelers!
