The Great Buddha of Kamakura is a representa- tive of Buddha, Amitabha, the Lord of the Western Pureland fa Monk who made forty-eight vows to save all beings and was granted the title because he fulfilled them.J V I The Image was built in 1252. It stands 44 feet high, weighs 274,428 pounds, and has a pure silver curl on the forehead, believed to emit rays of light to illuminate the universe. The figure sits in dignified repose with a most placid expression of countenance, from its forehead protrudes' a boss representing jewel from which light is supposed to flow, and which symbolizes an idea similar to that expressed in our scriptures:- I am the light of the World.
