李萱
According to the Buddhist sutras, when Sakyamuni gave a sermon, he always smiled. This statue has not only a smile on his face but a smile seeming to spread all over his body. The smiling countenance and the gentle contours of his body effectively display the Buddha's magnanimity, composure and elegance. When this collection of statues in Grotto 44 was created, China was experiencing one of the most traumatic periods in its history, with endless wars claiming the lives of countless people, and the survivors plunged into an abyss of suffering. These statues face the despondent secular world with a smile and magnanimity, thus giving people faith in life.
