One of the largest and most visited Buddhist temples in China, Lingyin Temple or Temple of the Soul’s Retreat holds the largest statue of the Buddha Sakyamuni in the lotus position. Numerous Buddha statues reside at this large monastery in southeast China, including a laughing Buddha, Maitreya. Situated in the centre of the Hall of the Heavenly King, it’s believed rubbing this Buddha’s bare fat belly brings good fortune.
