Buddhists Currently Saluting Really, Really Big Buddha Painting

Beginning today in Tibet is the annual Buddha-Painting Unfolding Festival. At monasteries throughout Tibet, enormous silk paintings are unfolded during three consecutive days for thousands of onlookers and believers to worship and pay their respects.

Quote:
The thangka - a large piece of silk embroidery - of the Past Buddha, 35-meters-tall and 40-meters-long, was laid out on a 538-year-old stone platform at 8 a.m. on Sunday, while attendants prayed on the monastery square in Xigaze, the second largest city of Tibet.
