Hong Kong - Big Buddha


2011 in Hong Kong 
Big Buddha 

When you are in Hong Kong 
there is one place you should visit for sure
and it is at the Lan Tau island
the Big Buddha 

wiki info :"The Buddha is 34 metres (112 ft) tall, weighs 250 metric tons (280 short tons), and was the world's tallest outdoor bronze seated Buddha prior to 2007.[3] It reputedly can even be seen from as far away as Macau on a clear day. Visitors have to climb 240 steps in order to reach the Buddha, though the site also features a small winding road to the Buddha for vehicles to accommodate the handicapped."

Naturally it is being visited by the Buddhists but also has became a very important magnet for tourists.
That's why I wanted to visit it too
I may not know much about Buddha and Buddhism
But what I've read and what I know is enough to like him a lot 
My thoughts are in no way connected with Joe being Chinese
because he is not a Buddhist =} 
Buddha is really a very peaceful man!
And he wanted to "teach" other ppl to be just peaceful

Buddha quotes:


"We are shaped by our thoughts, we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves."

"Health is the greatest gift, Contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship"

"The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart"

"If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him"

Amazing! After reading his beautiful thoughts i'm filled with a great peace inside
I hope that effect has been the same from you

I'll try to impress you with my Big Buddha adventure photos
I hope that will make u desire to be there too
If you wish it from your heart , then it will become true in one day 
Even if you are near or so far 

So Let's go see the Peaceful BIG BUDDHA together
