Historical information

The Jade Buddha for Universal Peace, the largest Buddha carved from gemstone-quality jade in the world, is the centerpiece of the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo, Australia. Standing 2.5 meters tall and weighing 4 tonnes, this priceless Buddhist statue toured over 120 cities across 20 countries from 2009 to 2018, inspiring peace in families, schools, and communities worldwide. After attracting an estimated 12 million visitors, it returned to the Great Stupa in May 2018, where it continues to be a potent symbol of peace.

Significance

This framed poster, presented on 12/02/2011 at An Lac Mission in Ventura, California, features the Jade Buddha over a serene beach setting alongside an award plaque for Ian Green. It honours his dedication to sharing the Buddha’s message of peace, unity, and interfaith harmony, blending natural tranquillity with spiritual significance.
