In Brazil, where Catholics are overwhelmingly popular, a 35-meter-tall large Buddha statue is attracting attention.
Oh!
Click The third search term is 'Brazil Giant Buddha'.
A large Buddha statue erected at a Buddhist monastery in Brazil has been unveiled.
It reaches a whopping 35 m in height.
It is said to have been made using 350 tons of iron and concrete, and it is larger than the Jesus statue in Rio de Janeiro, one of Brazil's famous attractions.
The height of the statue of Jesus of Rio is 38m, but excluding the foundation stone, it is 30m, which means that the Buddha statue is 5m taller.
It took about a year to complete the statue, and it was originally scheduled to be unveiled in September last year, but it was postponed due to COVID-19.
In fact, in Brazil, there are still overwhelmingly Catholics, but Protestantism and Buddhism are also steadily expanding, and it is said that the creation of a large Buddha was made in this atmosphere.
Netizens responded, "Aren't you trying to compete with the size of the statue?", "The Buddha statue in South America... It's kind of awkward, but I really want to see it later."
