    新华网南昌3月5日电,被称为世界最高阿弥陀佛铜像的东林大佛日前完成贴金工程,标志着东林大佛项目基本建成,预计今年内将举行开光大典。

     2007年5月,经国家宗教事务局批复同意后,东林大佛项目在江西省九江市星子县正式启动,总投资约10亿元。东林寺方丈释大安表示,东林大佛建设资金全部来自世界各地信徒和善心人士捐赠,建成后将摒弃商业化运作,不收门票。

     据悉,48米高的东林大佛整体造型吸收了龙门石窟等盛唐佛像优点,是代表了当代最高水平的宗教艺术精品,也是世界最高的露天阿弥陀佛铜像。项目以阿弥陀佛接引铜像为核心,组成部分包括净土文化区、新东林寺、比丘尼院、隐逸文化区、安养区、海会堂、大德精舍区等。
