The Spring Temple Buddha is a colossal statue depicting Vairocana Buddha, located in the Lushan County of Henan, China. Completed in 2008, it was the tallest statue in the world until the Statue of Unity surpassed it in 2018. The statue stands 128 meters tall, but if the lotus throne and the pedestal buildings are included, the total height reaches 208 meters. It is composed of 1,100 pieces of copper cast, with a total weight of approximately 1,000 tonnes. The name is derived from the nearby Tianrui hot spring, whose water flows at 60°C and is renowned for its therapeutic properties. The pedestal contains a Buddhist monastery, and the entire project cost an estimated $55 million. The statue is a major site of pilgrimage and represents the resurgence of large-scale Buddhist monumental art in modern China.
