dying buddha

dying buddha

This is the reclining Buddha image inside the main shrine room of the Nirvana temple. It is the most moving of all the reclining Buddha images I have seen. Usually, the dying Buddha is portrayed with his head resting in his hand, and his arm propped up on the elbow. His visage is typically impassive. In this image, he is just lying there, more like an actual dying (or perhaps already deceased) man.
