Jade Buddha for Universal Peace
The Jade Buddha for Universal Peace is a jade statue of the Gautama Buddha sourced from northern Canada in 2000 and later carved by Thai artisans. It is made of polar jade, which is a kind of Nephrite.〔http://www.jadebuddha.org.au/docs/jade-buddha-fact-sheet.pdf〕 It stands 2.7 meters high, sitting on a solid alabaster throne of 1.4 meters high, and is valued at more than A$5 million. This four-tonne statue was created for the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo, Victoria in Australia and was consecrated by the Dalai Lama.〔(Fact sheet for the Jade Buddha for Universal Peace )〕
Its model is the Buddha statue of the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India, which is universally recognized by all Buddhists. The statue is currently touring the world with the purpose of raising awareness of Buddhism and promoting peace. 〔(Article on the Jade Buddha for Universal Peace in the ''Bendigo Advertiser'' )〕〔(Jade Buddha for Universal Peace )〕
==Mandala Lights around the Jade Buddha==
In many pictures taken by tourists visiting the Buddha, bright and unusual lights appear in the background. These lights allegedly first appeared at Quán Thế Âm temple in Đà Nẵng. They have since been sighted at every showing of the Jade Buddha in Vietnam, Australia, and the USA. It has been said that only those with a pure heart and pure intentions can take such photographs. Called the "Mandala Lights" because their appearance is similar to a Buddhist mandala, the lights seem to be made of many colors in wildly varying patterns.
