Thousand-hand Bodhisattva shines again in China

Thousand-hand Bodhisattva shines again in China

The photo taken on May 16, 2014 shows Qianshou Guanyin (Thousand-hand Bodhisattva) statue on Baoding Mountain in Dazu District, Chongqing municipality, has been gilded, and looks far different from what it looked like in the photo taken on Oct 1, 2011. The sculpture, carved in the cave with 7.7 meters high and 12.5 meters wide, could date back to Southern Song Dynasty (1127 to 1279). Over the centuries, the sculpture's color has faded, parts of the gold foil covering have peeled off, and cracks have appeared. And thus, a restoration project for the Buddhist statue has been launched since April 18, 2011 and is expected to be completed in 2015.

Bodhisattva Seribu tangan bersinar lagi di China

Foto yang diambil pada 16 Mei 2014 menunjukkan rupang Qianshou Guanyin (Thousand-hand Bodhisattva) di Gunung Baoding di Dazu District, kota Chongqing, telah berlapis emas, dan terlihat jauh berbeda dari apa yang tampak seperti dalam foto yang diambil pada 1 Oktober 2011. Rupang diukir dalam goa dengan tinggi 7,7 meter dan lebar 12,5 meter, kembali ke Dinasti Song Selatan (1127-1279). Selama berabad-abad, warna rupang telah pudar, bagian dari foil emas telah terkelupas, retak telah muncul. Dan dengan demikian, proyek restorasi rupang Buddha telah diluncurkan sejak 18 April 2011 dan diharapkan akan selesai pada tahun 2015.



All statues around there got repair and looked shine again.
Semua rupang di sekitarnya mendapat perbaikan dan bersinar kembali.
