The "Five Buddhas," Huayan Temple, Datong, Shanxi, China

Perhaps the single most impressive set of statues I have seen in any of my journeys in China: The "Five Buddhas" at Huayan Temple, Datong, Shanxi, China. Left to right, they are (usually):

  • North: Chengjiufo=Amoghasiddhi;
  • West: Mitofo=Amitabha;
  • Center: Pilufo=Vairocana;
  • South: Baoshengfo=Ratnasambhava;
  • East: Achufo=Aksobhya.
