Yinxian Resort: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
CHINA, Guangdong, Dongguan
The statue was completed in 1998 and was constructed from 2,000 t of white marble, making it one of the largest marble Avalokitesvara statues in China. The Bodhisattva wears a headdress fronted by a Buddha and is covered by a shawl. The figure sits in full lotus position on a double lotus throne and holds a vase with a willow branch in the left hand. The site is a resort that covers 180 ha of land, and was once a hermitage occupied by Li Jiaosi, a minister in office during the late Ming dynasty (1368–1644).
