of the city the 3 faced statue of. the d.t. of mercy in chinese buddhism is bound for demolition. suddenly the government fenced the statue off they are doing works inside but they haven't informed society about the reasons for the destruction. this is left us buddhists and those who worship the goddess of guanine inside and outside china quite the wilderness. the 3 faced one in and the adjacent monastery were between 2002 when a company donated the giant statue to the buddhist community made of white jaded quickly gained fame. i am trying to take a look at the site the statue is located in a mountainous region about an hour's drive from the city center. we approach the statue where security guards up posted at their roadside stopping and taking

pictures of the demolition is strictly prohibited the government does not want these images to spread on social media we can only feel them out of the car window . it is unclear how far the demolition has already gone activists have written to the government and complained on social media for the conservation of this that you will just as of the asians as far as malaysia have protested against its demolition to no avail. see on is an ancient capital of china tourists from all over the world come to see its historic sites including its buddhist heritage but in recent years the government has pushed for a revival of communist ideology even inside dot untempered the world famous buddhist heritage the sign reminds visitors to uphold socialist values the chinese

government is exercising immense pressure on religion and compared to the latter to buddhism is treated even more leniently. the government considers it to be more in line with their norms but i've witnessed that pressure on buddhist temples myself and there chile is increasing. and the pace is picking up as well temples have been forced to cancel religious events monasteries have had some of their buildings demolished experts estimate that the 3 faced buddha is just one of up to $800.00 statues that have been destroyed city years. since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic working conditions in germany's meat processing industry have become public knowledge. the worst affected victims are often seasonal workers from eastern europe. sebastian is 9 months old 10 years ago his family moved from romania to the mc and region of
