Transportation Of World Largest Buddha Bell
Photo taken on Sept. 20, 2011 shows workers loading the world's largest Buddha bell in Wuhan City, capital of central China's Hubei Province, to transport it to the Xilai Temple of southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The bell, with height of nine meters, diameter of 6.06 meters and weight of 109 metric tons, is made of Tin-bronze by Wuhan Heavy Industry Casting & Forging Co., Ltd. The Buddhist scripture including 92,306 words has been inscribed on the bell.
I never have seen a Buddhist cultural object so large outside of a temple setting. Nice photos.
ReplyDeletewe are a Buddhist sangha community in Penang and we need to inform all Sangha in Malaysia and abroad because the last time our monks went to visit SAMNAK SAMBODHI, Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur and we monks were kicked out by the Temple president
ReplyDeletewe are a monk in Ven. Phra Piya Dhammo was a retired Singapore CID police officer, later he became a monk in Mahindarama, Penang. He practiced under Chief monks, Dr. Ven E Indaratana Maha Thero, Mahindarama Buddhist Temple, Penang, for five years, after which he travelled for Dhamma everywhere in Malaysia
Ven. Phra Piya Dhammo said, he was very happy and peaceful to stay temporarily in SAMNAK SAMBODHI as it was associated with the higher knowledge and education of the monks, our Bhante said all the monks were very moral and kind like brothers.
On one occasion, YIP KUM FOOK realized and got angry at our Bhante because this YIP KUM FOOK is the president of SAMNAK SAMBODHI and has the power to get rid of anyone in the Temple but our Bhante did not do anything wrong, also this president called the police, and his thugs to drive away(kick) we monk out of the Temple
we saved and protected our Buddhist sangha from danger and bullying from someone, you (Bhante), you are not alone, we come to help you
