I know this may seem alternative but sometimes it is good to put things into cultural perspective. I believe there are many ways to Jesus Christ. Cultures are one of the vibrant expressions of God's complexity. Asian religious practices are not infused with Christian tradition. That said, I won't put my hopes in any statue but I appreciate the symbolism of the statue as an expression of culture.
