A golden reclining Buddha statue in the sunlight in a Killing Cave of Phnom Sampeau in Battambang region, Cambodia, South East Asia. The lying Buddha represents his last illness, about to enter the parinirvana (after death). Many victims were killed and thrown into these caves during the Khmer Rouge in 1970s. A Cambodian man sits in front of the statue making wrist band souvenirs. (photo by Andrew Aitchison / In pictures via Getty Images)
