In the Sleeping Buddha Hall of the Jade Buddha Monastery, there are two Sleeping Buddhas. The big one was carried back from Singapore by Master Zhen Chan, the tenth abbot of the monastery and the Buddha is 4 meter in length carved and polished with a pice of whole jade stone.

The small sleeping Buddha and the one in sitting posture in the Jade Buddha Hall are brought back from Burma by the old master Hui Gen. The small one is 0.96 meter in length, exquisitely carved with green jade stone. The sleeping Buddha is in kasaya with bare right shoulder and right side in sleeping posture. His right hand is bent under his head, and his left hand along his left thigh. The posture is called “auspicious sleeping posture”.

The Sleeping Buddha’s countenance is serene, his eyes open slightly and a smile on his mouth corners, which shows the expression when Sakyamuni left us quietly. The clothes of the sculpture look like elegant texture quality for the smooth lines.
