The Jade Buddha for World Peace is a Buddha statue carved from a single 18-ton block of jade, discovered in Canada in 2000 and completed by leading Thai artisans in December 2008.
The jade Buddha statue sits in meditation on a lotus throne in a lotus position, with a compassionate demeanor. The completed jade Buddha statue is 2.54m high and 1.77m wide, consisting of five parts: the golden body, the fleshy protuberance, the halo, the lotus throne, and the alms bowl. This is the largest jade Buddha statue in the world, carved from the image of Buddha Shakyamuni in the Great Enlightenment stupa at Bodh Gaya (India).
In 2009, the statue was brought to Vietnam for the first time for monks, nuns, Buddhists and tourists to worship.
