Where is the largest Buddha outside of Japan? Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii, of course!

Located at the Lahaina Jodo Mission, the Amida Buddha is cast of copper and bronze and stands twelve feet high and weighs approximately three and one-half tons. The Buddha was completed in 1968 to commemorate the centennial celebration of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii.
