A majestic temple located near the city of Nara in Japan. The main attribute and object of pilgrimage for a large number of people is a huge statue of Buddha. And it feels like the temple was built around the Buddha, not the other way around.
When you approach this building, you are amazed at its size. This is such a large-scale project that it is impossible to believe that it was created in the 8th century, although later it was restored, completed and rebuilt. Wooden skyscraper.
It is not surprising how much religious power this place has.
It is also amazing in what magnificent form this temple has survived to this day. Thanks to all those who serve and take care of him day and night. Especially considering that it is completely built of wood.
As much as the temple itself is amazing, the Buddha statue is also amazing, it also matches the shrine, huge, majestic, amazing.
Interestingly, there is a window in the wall of the building that is opened from time to time, and then the statue's face can be seen from afar, even on the outskirts of the temple.
We were lucky to visit here, and generally pay attention to this area, although there is something to see in Nara anyway. When we look at the preserved photos from the trip now, sometimes we can not believe that we were there.
