\"\"<\/a>… a classic sit-a-long …<\/div>\n


The very next town to Treeleaf, Tsukuba happens to have, according to Guinness World Records, THE WORLD’S TALLEST BUDDHA IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!<\/span> (and maybe the world’s tallest statue in the whole world!!), taller than the Statue of Liberty, the Obelisk in Trafalgar Square and even Godzilla<\/span> (imagine what this ‘Buddhzilla’ would do stompin’ on Tokyo if he were not so peaceful) <\/span>!! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
The image is of Amida Buddha, and the interior is a golden, laser lighted, fantastical recreation of the Buddha’s Pure Land<\/span><\/a>. And while I like my Buddhas ‘beyond big or small’, some folks sure like their Buddha’s BIG! (you can read more about the statue<\/a> <\/a>HERE<\/a>)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

So, please have a look & sit-a-long with<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

THE GIANT BUDDHA!!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
