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.

True
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*
Has she reached the enlightenment yet?

When you watched too much anime:
Yaśodharā (Pali: Yasodharā, Sanskrit: यशोधरा) was the wife of Prince Siddhartha (Buddha / maha-buddhi)
as a buddhist im confused
She probably wanted to be closer or connect to Buddha meditating on the crown chakra
She got sign in system
I remember there used to be big Buddha statues in Afghanistan
The judging on the comments is funny bc Buddha would probably be so light hearted and laugh at someone sitting on his head. Relax everyone.
The Level Of Disrespect
Maybe she finds peace and feels closer to heaven that way. The thing is she's not scare of height, so that's great!

Did not The Buddha say that he would permit images of himself as long as they were not worshiped? And did not The Buddha say let the purpose of such images be for reflection and meditation? If sitting on top the head of the image made her feel more connected to The Buddha, and to all around her, who are we to judge the right or wrong of it? 💛✨

I think it is rather disrespectful for that lady to meditate on the buddha as the statue is a sacred ground and secondly, it is very dangerous to get there, what if she trips and falls over from that height?
How did she get up there? Was it lifted by helicopter?
they should make the woman pay and build the higher fence
That’s over freedom of movements. Send her to Respected manner school.
Who can see her meditating for social media likes, it's not meditating, she was being Haunted by thoughts of how many views and likes she will get.
Lock her up. Its not right.
meditating anywhere else other than the head of the buddha statue is so disrespectful. like is she even trying to meditate?
Everyone is mad these days so they want to meditate in order to attain sanity. The Great Buddha would not mind if he was alive, but still very bad.
She became a head lice

Up there she is a few inches closer to Buddha in jade heaven
Some places are special for meditation where yogis before have spent their energies but this is just for show off.
