[Photo Group] Unveiling the Mysteries of the 17 Most Enigmatic Buddha Statues in the World

According to the tradition, the Buddha statue must be tall enough so that its foot is higher than our sight line to avoid desecration. Moreover, the tall Buddha statue is intended to remind Buddhists to be pious, modest and cautious, and guard against arrogance and impatience. The Buddha always remained seated when he was enlightened, therefore, this is also the most popular posture of the Buddha statue. Gestures are also called mudras in Sanskrit, which have different meanings such as fearlessness, meditation and wish fulfillment.
