JADE BUDDHA FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE

Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza
For the first time in Singapore, the largest jade statue of Buddha in the world.
Amitabha Buddhist Centre (ABC) is exhibiting the Jade Buddha for Universal Peace, a 2.7 metre tall statue of Shakyamuni Buddha that was carved from a rare boulder of gem quality Polar jade discovered in Canada in 2000. It is said to have been one of the largest single blocks of jade ever found.
Weighing 4 tonnes and valued at US$5 million, the Jade Buddha is modelled on the world renowned statue of Shakyamuni Buddha in Bodhgaya, India, recognised by all Buddhists to be the place of the Buddha's enlightenment.
Since 2009 the Jade Buddha has been viewed and admired by millions around the world. Its purpose is simply to inspire all to follow the path of peace.
Come be inspired.
