this buddha is a sitting buddha and is about 40 feet high. it is made of bronze and according to legends, the diadem (is that what it is supposed to be called?) is a genuine diamond hundreds of carats big..but during the second world war, it was stolen by the enemy forces...koreans have replaced it with a piece of crystal...
