Casting a Life Size Statue of a Buddhist Monk in 1 Ton of Pure Gold


This is the video invitation for the casting of a statue of one the meditation masters of the Dhammakaya Foundation, the Venerable Sodh Cansaro the former abbot of Wat Paknam in 1 Ton of pure gold (about $60 million US at today's prices !).

Dhammkaya never do anything by halves and are dedicated to building ever bigger temples and eye-popping ceremonies which amaze and astound both friends and foes alike. Hence they are a potent source of staggering material for the Buddha's Face blog.

It is better to do nothing
Than to do what is wrong.
For whatever you do, you do to yourself.
Buddha
