In the heart of Asia, two monumental Buddha statues embody the region's rich spiritual heritage, attracting pilgrims and tourists alike: the Tian Tan Buddha in Hong Kong and the Phra Buddha Dhammakāya Thepmongkhon in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Tian Tan Buddha, known as the Big Buddha, stands majestically at 26.4 meters (approximately 86 feet) on Lantau Island. Completed in 1993, this bronze statue represents Buddha Amitabha, symbolizing the harmony between humanity and the natural world. Visitors can ascend the 268 steps that lead to the statue's base, where they are treated to panoramic views of the beautiful landscape and the iconic Po Lin Monastery. The serene atmosphere of the site offers a perfect space for reflection and meditation, drawing countless visitors seeking peace and tranquility.

In stark contrast, the Phra Buddha Dhammakāya Thepmongkhon statue at Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen in Bangkok towers at an impressive 65 meters (approximately 213 feet), which is 2.5 times higher than Tian Tan Big Buddha, making it one of the tallest Buddha statues in the world. Built by Sino Sculpture Foundry, a leading bronze Buddha fabricator in Beijing, China, and unveiled in 2021, this modern representation of the Buddha captures the meditative posture and spiritual essence of its teachings. Surrounded by a beautiful landscape, the statue serves as a focal point for meditation and a gathering place for followers of the Dhammakaya tradition, promoting mindfulness and inner peace.
