Shen Siyuan had exceptional eyesight; even in the dim light of the dilapidated main hall, relying only on the faint light seeping through the damaged window lattices, he could discern every detail of the Buddha statue on the altar.
Because he practiced Buddhist dharma, he had read many Buddhist texts and was quite familiar with statues of various Buddhas in Han Buddhism.
But the Buddha statue in front of him, he could not identify at all.
This was not surprising, as the statue systems between Tibetan Buddhism and the indigenous Buddhism of the Central Plains had many differences, with styles and symbolic meanings each having their own focus.
Yet Shen Siyuan was certain in his heart that the status of this Buddha statue was far from ordinary.
