Adelanto, California - Miraculous Healing Giant Buddhist Statue

A 24-foot-tall, 60-ton white marble statue of Quan yin, an "Enlightened One," is part of a Buddhist meditation center in the Mojave Desert. The planned $15 million temple is the vision of a senior citizen monk, Thich Dang "Tom" Phap, who lives next to the statue in a trailer. The Quan yin statue attracts many Buddhist visitors, who believe that it possesses healing powers and radiates a white light.

The center's walkway features statues of 18 other Enlightened Ones. [RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 12/01/2008]
