Phil's All Embracing Bhutan Slide Show
The Reclining Buddha Statue
The massive gold-plated Reclining Buddha statue is 46m long and 15m high.
It is designed to illustrate the passing of the Buddha into nirvana. The feet and the
eyes are engraved with mother-of-pearl decoration, and the feet also show the 108
auspicious characteristics of a true Buddha.

It took the 28mm wide angle view of my camera and just the right placement to get
the entire statue into a single shot.

At the base of the statue is an altar of several deities, along with a miniature
version of the reclining Buddha. One looks like a Quan-Yin style deity.
