Meet ふたまる大仏, the Great Buddha Futamaru, constructed over four months and completed March 5th of this year. Just as 2,600,000 people contributed in some way, none too small, to the construction of the Great Buddha at Todaiji in Nara 1300 years ago, Futamaru too rose from the contributions of 2,600,000 ... clicks! He was the second online Great Buddha constructed at the simple website みんなで大仏建立ボタン. His predecessor ひときゅう大仏 took fourteen months. Since his arrival, word must have spread: みっかび大仏 manifested in a marvelous 2 days, よざくら大仏 in 15, and いつゆう大仏 in just 17 more. The latest is lagging a little, though, perhaps because it's aiming for 5,200,000 clicks. You can help! You don't need to be able to read the various contributions you can make (planning, raising funds, building the temple, hewing wood, smelting, pouring, etc.) just click away! Thursday, April 30, 2020
No contribution too small!
