It is amazing that those statues were sculpted over one thousand years ago, and yet, they still are serving as the original intention. Of course, being a Buddha, they will be treated with the utmost respect and live another thousand years.

When did the Buddha change from solemn to a more traditionally known (as now) face? I notice the ones that are made today very nearly never carry a solemn face as these do.

Are all the old ones like that? Thank you again for your time. Go well.
