Today I read one news from the Eleven Journal website with some associated photos. The news indicate that the Vietnam is boasting to launch a project of world's biggest jade statue of Buddha. What is it concern with us then? Of course it's related to our country as the raw jade that is supposed to be used in this project is imported from Myanmar. The news come with the exact dimension and reliable photos and it's popular journal in domestic. According to news, the Jade dimension are as follow:-
Length: 6' 6"
Width : 6' 6"
Hight : 10' 0"
Weight: 35 ton
What a huge dimension as a single solid precious stone? I am very impressive to read and see this stone while I felt a bit stingy to lose it to other country. Why we cannot make it for our own goodness? We sold it for US $ 2 million and it's quite affordable by our Government or local magnates. The different would be the attitude of people and I can see nothing else. with my tiny brain. In my opinion, our country is most developed country in term of Buddhism. I don't know what is Vietnam's core religious exactly. Hopefully they are modified Buddhism as their culture and china is similar. Now they are boasting to show world that they are on the right track to do World's biggest Jade Buddha statue and even intend to be listed in Genes Book. The group of 50 Artistes will convert it to a Buddha Statue and launching ceremony is attended by the president with the proud face. After finish it, the Statue would be 9ft 8in in height and 20 ton weighted. The current biggest jade Buddha statue in world weighs only 4 ton and 9ft height only.
If this project is happening on our own land, of course, I also would be very proud of being Myanmar citizen. To be optimistic, the fact would be always there that the Jade is from Myanmar and it seems telling world how rich our country's natural resource are and how good quality our products are. It doesn't matter where the Statue is existing, the history will remain unchanged despite the time goes by. Hopefully I can have a chance to witness it by the time this project is finished on near future.
