Tian Tan Buddha symbolizes the harmonious relationship between
man and nature, people and religion. The
statue is named Tian Tan Buddha because its base is a model of the Altar of
Heaven or Earthly Mount of Tian Tan, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. It is one
of the five large Buddha statues in China. The Buddha statue sits on a lotus
throne on top of a three-platform altar. It is surrounded by six smaller bronze
statues known as "The Offering of the Six Devas" and are posed
offering flowers, incense, lamp, ointment, fruit, and music to the Buddha.
These offerings symbolize charity, morality, patience, zeal, meditation, and
wisdom, all of which are necessary to enter into Nirvana. (Source: Wikipedia)
