Buddha Above
to see all our birthday Buddha amulets. There was a giant
in a kingdom, Asurindarahu. This giant wished to visit the Buddha, and
when he did, he didn't want to bow down before him in humility. Why
should he, he was the biggest, the strongest - so he thought. Buddha
then made himself bigger than the giant - dwarfing him. He showed the
giant a part of the heavens with giant figures all much larger and
greater than the giant. Asurindarahu was humbled and bowed before
Buddha.
A very large reclining Buddha statue is found at Phra Pathom Chedi in
Nakhon Pathom province near Bangkok.
