    You can meditate anywhere, inside your car, on your bed, sitting in the restroom etc. When you go out of your way to sit on the head of a Buddha statue, you are not trying to meditate, you are looking for your Kim Kardashian moment. The purpose of meditation is to cultivate mindfulness and inner peace, rather than seeking attention or validation. Obviously, this ain’t your cup of tea.

    Yeah I agree my friend. I believe in this case, the woman might be mentally unstable or belonging to some religiously fanatical cult or some other form of an extremist religious group. Most followers in those kinds of backwards thinking organizations have some of these types of people in their ranks. Indoctrination of the extreme kind has the tendency to persuade people to do the most ludicrous things. Not for veneration and reverence of a deity, but, rather, guided by the selfish and nonsensical ambitions of a singular human being, misguided and egged on by visions of self-imposed grandeur.

    Gautama Buddha achieved enlightenment while meditating under a Bodhi tree. So, meditating on top of a giant buddha does not really provide any buffs to the meditation in fact, had she fell asleep that would be the end.

    What do you think of woman who meditates on top of Leshan Giant Buddha? chatGPT-4: As an AI language model, I don't possess personal opinions or emotions. However, I can provide you with some general insights on the topic. A woman meditating on top of the Leshan Giant Buddha could be seen as someone seeking spiritual growth, tranquility, or a unique experience. The Leshan Giant Buddha is an important cultural and historical site in China. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of Buddhism. Visitors are generally expected to treat such places with respect, following local customs and traditions. If the woman's actions were carried out with respect and didn't cause any harm or disturbance to the site, then her meditation could be seen as a personal journey or exploration of spirituality. *However, if her actions were deemed disrespectful or potentially damaging to the site, it might be frowned upon by local authorities, residents, or fellow visitors. It's important to remember that cultural sensitivity and adherence to local rules and guidelines are crucial when visiting sacred sites or engaging in spiritual practices*

    Although Buddha wouldn't mind, but it's disrespectful to sit on someone's head no matter who he or she is. It's just basic mannerism, but this person here wanted attention.

    Meditator on Buddha’s head. Mediator not needed to talk her back down.

    At least lucky to sit on the head of Buddha statue otherwise she would have sent to another realm by devotee if seated on the wrong place . 😂😝🤣.
