Description
The impressive Amideva Buddha Park, built in 2003 and featuring a gigantic triumvirate. This religious site with its three golden statues features Nepal’s largest statue of Buddha.
The site features a 67 feet tall statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha who began life as Siddhartha Gautama.
To the left of the statue of Buddha is the 64-foot-tall statue of Chenrezig. He is the most compassionate of all Bodhisattvas, and those who utter the mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum” invoke his assistance. He is depicted with many arms which he uses to reach out to help the multitudes in need. The Dalai Lama is considered an incarnation of Chenrezig.
To the right of Shakyamuni Buddha, also at 64 feet tall, is Guru Rinpoche “The Precious Master.” Incarnated as a fully enlightened being, Guru Rinpoche is a keeper of primordial wisdom and revealed to the world the complete Vajrayana (tantric) teachings.
