I was on my way to pick up some documents yesterday, and saw Jade Buddha Template is around. So I let my time off for a couple of hours and visited it. It is absolutely a magnificent temple. One of the three most famous temples in Shanghai - LongHua, JingAn and Jade Buddha. The entrance ticket is 20CNY. To visit Jade Buddha, you will need another 10CNY. The direction is taking Metro line 2 to West Nanjing Road, and ride a taxi to there.
"The Sitting Buddha is 190 centimeters high and encrusted by the agate and the emerald, portraying the Buddha at the moment of his meditation and enlightenment. The Recumbent Buddha is 96 centimeters long, lying on the right side with the right hand supporting the head and the left hand placing on the left leg, this shape is called the 'lucky repose'. The sedate face shows the peaceful mood of Sakyamuni when he left this world. " Beside these two, there are many other Buddhist scriptures.
