The Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai, China, is a renowned Buddhist temple known for its exquisite jade Buddha statues. Established in 1882, the temple houses two significant jade Buddha statues brought from Burma (now Myanmar) by a monk named Huigen. The larger of the two statues is a serene depiction of Shakyamuni Buddha in a seated position, while the smaller statue portrays the Buddha in a reclining posture, symbolizing his peaceful passing into nirvana.
