The Jade Buddha is a jade statue of the Gautama Buddha sourced from northern Canada in 2000 and later carved by Thai artisans. It is made of
polar jade, which is a kind of Nephrite.  It stands 2.7 meters high and is
valued at more than $5 million. This four-tonne statue was created forthe
Great Stupa of Universal.

Compassion in Bendigo, Victoria in Australia. Its model is the Buddha statue
of the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India. The statue is currently touring
the world.  Unusual lights have allegedly appeared in photographs taken of
the Jade Buddha. These lights allegedly first appeared at Quán Thế Âm temple
in Đà Nẵng. They have since been sighted at every showing of the Jade Buddha

in Vietnam, Australia and USA. These lights appear in a wide range of conditions
and are even claimed to appear inside buildings such as the Museum of Western Australia in Perth and the Sydney Entertainment Centre. The lights have been called “Mandala Lights” because of the symmetrical design which has a similarity to a Buddhist mandala.  The lights appear to be semi-transparent, and when enlarged
they seem to be made up of many colours.
