Maitreya in Front of Pagoda, Tianning Temple, Changzhou, Jiangsu, China

This kitschy statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva--the so-called "Laughing Buddha"--is seated in front of the base of the huge pagoda at Tianning Temple in Changzhou, Jiangsu. Opened in 2007, the pagoda stands at 505 feet (153.79 meters), and is claimed to be the tallest pagoda in the world.
