Construction of the Buddha
Construction on the Giant Buddha began in 713. It was the idea of a Chinese monk （僧侣） named Haitong, who hoped that the Buddha would calm the waters that plagued （造成麻烦）the ships traveling down the river. When funding for the project was threatened, he is said to have gouged out （挖出）his own eyes to show his piety and sincerity . The massive construction project was finally completed by his disciples （徒弟）90 years later. The construction resulted in so much stone being removed from the cliff and deposited into the river below that the currents were altered by the statue, making the waters safe for passing ships as the monk had hoped.
