The largest reclining Buddha image of the world is being built south to Mawlamyine in the hills near Mudon

Look at the hand! After that it was completely redesigned by Helmut Köllner

As an engineer I am impressed by the perfect shape of the head in this size

"Myanmar is a really poor country, but the people take care for
their religious life. Every time, every place they will give a donation"

Tip: He or she who will see this Buddha in the stillness should come as soon as possible, before the noise of the roaring loudspeakers will destroy any devotion. The Buddha image will be completed about 2008. |
