What a remarkable and very expressive face for these sculptures! I visited Vietnam this winter. There are statues of Buddha all over the world. But they are very serious or in a state of nirvana. In addition to the Buddha, I was struck by the whole cult: dragons, pagodas, lotus, gong, bell in temples and much more. This is a very interesting religion, which is called a way of life, because Buddhism is glad to all visitors to their temples.
