The Statue of Chenrezig

In 1911, a vast statue of Chenrezig, the Buddha of Compassion, was built at Gandan Monastery. During the 1930s, it was destroyed and the bronze statue was melted down. The metal was used to make bullets.

Today, the statue has been reconstructed and brings a message of compassion and loving kindness to all who view it.

The Chenrezig statue is the tallest indoor statue in the world at 26.5-meters.
