Talk:The Big Buddha (Hong Kong)

message: "A gondola lift, the Ngong Ping Skyrail between Tung Chung and Ngong Ping, provides another means of access."
This lift is long out of operation due to an accident. Jon914 07:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessarily wrong. Though it may be out of service now, it is expected to resume service in the future and will continue to service the Monastery. Luke! 17:34, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  At a minimum, there should be mention that this service is suspended indefinitely due to the incident. Also just coming in today incidentally is the fact that their 20-year contract just got torn up, so it's going to be a while before this comes back. See the portal front page for that source.

replies: text: It seems there're arguments right now about when the service will resume.  But it'll unlikely be resumed within the next several months I think.  Do we wait till the dust settles with the controversy and there's a more definite timeline on when the service will resume?  Or do we mention something in this article right now?

thread_title:  Wrong Information 

message: Someone has marked the weight of the Kamakura Buddha at 124 tons as vague.  What does that someone want? Down to the exact pound and ounce? Caeruleancentaur (talk) 13:53, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That someone probably wants it specified whether that's metric or short tons, rather than wanting exact pounds and ounces. 87.80.97.137 (talk) 17:13, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vague? 

message: The current article seems to be vague in regards to which Buddha the statue is an image of. In the first paragraph, it says that the statue is "is a large bronze statue of the Buddha" with Buddha linked to Gautama_Buddha. To me, the use of the phrase "the buddha" rather than "a buddha" and the link to Gautama Buddha imply that the statue represents Gautama/Shakyamuni Buddha. But then further down it says "Like the Daibutsu in Kamakura, Japan, the Tian Tan Buddha is an image of Amitabha Buddha." So which is it? Gautama or Amitabha Buddha? This would be helpful to mention in the first paragraph. Echalon (talk) 13:50, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  what about the Ushiku Buddha 120 metres tall?

thread_title:  No such thing as "Tian Tan Buddha" 

message: Should there be a standalone article for the Offering of the Six Devas? Not sure if there's enough sourcing and detail to justify a separate article. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:06, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
