Jade Buddha Temple - Shakyamuni Sculptures

The two Shakyamuni sculptures were each carved from a single piece of white jade. The 1.9m/6ft high statue of the seated Shakyamuni can be found on the upper floor of the Wentang Main hall, where a collection of Buddhist manuscripts is also kept. The small reclining Shakyamuni (barely 1m/3ft long), portrayed entering Nirvana, is situated in a building in the west courtyard of the temple.
