Reclining Buddha
Author wrote:
Looks quite peaceful in this shot. This is the huge reclining Buddha at the Long Son Pagoda in Nha Trang, Vietnam. I tried to find some information about the meaning of the reclining Buddha and all I've been able to find is that it represents Buddha's death and detachment from the world. I guess that would explain all the monks in the background that appear to be mourning.
Meditation

Detail of the hands of the Daibutsu buddha at Kamakura. The position of the hands is Dhyāna Mudrā, the gesture of meditation.

I know many of you would have seen this in pictures before but believe me the photos do not do any justice. You have to be here in person.
As a background, this is the Namdroling Monastery at the Tibetian settlement in Bylakuppe. The above statues are of Buddha and his disciples Guru Padmasamhava and Buddha Amityayus , all around 60ft tall. Inside the statues are the holy scriptures, relics, small clay moulded stupas and small statues symbolic of the body speech and mind of the Buddhas.
To create an ethreal look, I have applied some diffusion filtering in PS.

Buddha

Wendy looks up at the amazing and enormous fifth-century Aukana Buddha, one of the great ancient sites of Sri Lanka, to add perspective to the carving.
The Buddha is 12m high (though it appears much, much taller) and is completely carved from the rock behind it, as is the case at Gal Vihara. But this Buddha is taller than those at Gal Vihara, and the work that went into it must have been immense. It is in extraordinary condition (the last chiseling could have been done the morning we saw it), which is truly amazing considering it is more than 1500 years old and has never been shielded from the elements by a roof or covering of any sort.
This Buddha has risen in importance in the last seven or eight years after the unforgivable destruction of the twin Buddha statues (which were similar in design but much larger) in Bamiyan, Afghanistan by the Taliban.
