Laughing Buddhas From The Flying Peak
Vivid figures of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas carved in the rock on the Flying Peak, Feilai Feng (飛來峰石窟) in the Wulin Mountains (武林山), Zhejiang.
Their cheerfulness in no way contradicts the solemn and misty ambiance of the Feilai Feng Grottoes themselves. Limestone peak looks alien in the surrounding mountain landscape, so there is an opinion that it flew here by the power of Buddhist wonder-workers. The main cave is dedicated to the Bodhisattva Guanyin. Due to a natural crack in the ceiling, a radiant halo surrounds the statue.
The carvings are from different periods and date from the Tang to the Ming.

I fitted a security camera at the back of my house last week. Every morning, I receive an alert on my phone informing me that someone has been spotted in the garden, and every day, it sends me a picture of my Buddha statue. A lesser man would read more into this. ☸️🕉

The Leshan Giant Buddha (Chinese: 樂山大佛) is a 71-metre (233 ft) tall stone statue, built between 713 and 803 (during the Tang dynasty).
There is a local saying: "The mountain is a Buddha and the Buddha is a mountain"
