DescriptionTodaiji’s Great Buddha Hall enshrines the colossal seated Rushana Buddha known as the Great Buddha of Nara. Despite its immense scale, the image does more than overwhelm; it seems to envelop the entire hall in a quiet expansiveness. Rushana Buddha is understood as a Buddha whose light illuminates the whole world, bearing a vast prayer befitting the center of Todaiji. State-sponsored faith dating back to the Nara period and the simple prayers of countless people meet here in Todaiji’s defining Buddhist site.
