大型雕塑《降魔》 Great carving ---conquering the evils

When he was dwelling in the ancient temple, the heart evil , threatening and temptation came to attack him. He conquered them,

at last he became a great Buddha. 释迦牟尼修行即将成佛的时候心魔来袭，威胁、诱惑。释迦牟尼不畏威胁，不为诱惑所动，将其一一降伏。最终修成正果，得道成佛

魔女人的诽谤、诱惑，释迦牟尼都不为所动

The defamation and temptation from witches could not move his mind

His kind profile佛陀的慈悲法相

头顶上的曲面盖状物，不是法器，是避雷针

The curving cover on his head top is not a religious tool, but a lightning conductor.

印度古代的阿育王以立石柱刻经文的方式传播佛教，成绩卓著，后人为纪念他的功绩，以立石柱表示缅怀，称为‘阿育王柱’。 The Asoka in ancient India set up a stone pillar carved on the scriptures for disseminating Buddhism. In order to remember his great contribution, the stone pillar is named as “ Asoka Pillar”
