Letter
China
March 26, 2007 (from the April 2007 Issue)
Brendan Flaherty and Sandra Yue recently traveled from Minneapolis to the southwestern province of Sichuan in China. There, they came face to face with this behemoth of a Bodhisattva, the Grand Buddha of Leshan. “This is the world’s largest stone-carved Buddha, at seventy-one-meters high,” said Yue. “It took ninety years to carve him from this cliff-face, and he is over 1,200 years old. What better way to celebrate a thought-provoking moment such as this than with the pages of The Rake?”
