Buddhism
The construction of the 71 m high Buddha of Leshan begins under the guidance of Chinese monk Haitong. It is thus up today at the world's largest sculpture of Buddha made of stone . It was carved from a rock at the confluence of the Min Jiang , Dadu and Qingyi rivers not far from the city of Leshan, in the southern part of Sichuan Province in China , during the Tang Dynasty . The Buddha looks out over Mount Emei Shan , one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains , as the rivers spread out at his feet. Haitong hopes with the construction to calm the troubled waters, which impaired navigation on the rivers.
