Master Hsing Yun (Sitting on stage), founder of Fo Guang Shan Monastery in southeast China's Taiwan, speaks in front of the complete Buddha statue at Hebei Museum in Shijiazhuang, capital of north China's Hebei Province, April 30, 2016. The white marble Buddha statue, which was made around 556 by North Qi dynasty, was originally worshipped at Youju Temple in Hebei Province, where the Buddha's head was stolen in 1996. Master Hsing Yun, founder of Fo Guang Shan Monastery in southeast China's Taiwan, decided to return the 80 kg statue head to the mainland after it was presented to him by a follower in 2014. The complete statue is now housed at Hebei Museum. (Xinhua/Mou Yu)
