A large statue of the Buddha doin’ it with a woman was recently erected in Lijiang, Yunnan, and shockingly, many people are none too pleased with it. The statue, which can be found in a popular bar named Yanyu, was installed in an attempt to increase business by “Echoing the fame of Lijiang”, according to manager Lin.
Netizens were quick to condemn the statue, saying such things as “They will be punished in the end for destroying Chinese traditional beliefs” and “China has no bottom line of morality.”
Lin has defended the statue however, stating that it was transported into China from India in April 2013; also explaining the male Buddha represents “law, while the female figure represents “intelligence”.

So, if the male represents "law" and the female represents "intelligence," then who's screwing who? Is this a symbol for laws are irrational?

When you talk about Buddha and dont know or relate the country Nepal then think its time that you use some search engines to know more in detail. If you say he was born in India then its time that you correct your understanding. my few words.... like the above comment "some one said its chinese", the indian made up and said its indian but if you look into details then you will know the truth , how those big countries manipulate the truth......

Buddhism is Indian originally, but the Chinese think they invented everything. Many bodhisattvas are pictured with their "consorts" in artistic representations (e.g. Vajrasattva). In Tibetan Buddhism, the monks often practice tantric sex with their students. Even Siddhartha Gautama had a child, according to tradition. So sex is not as "taboo" in Buddhism as these netizens think - they just like to vent their frustration with their lives in a state-approved manner. The statue may be in poor taste, depending on who you ask, but "destroying Chinese traditional beliefs"? Puh-leeze.

Small remark: Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) had his son when he was still Prince Siddhartha, which was before he left his home and become Buddha.

^ Depends on which denomination you ask. Personally, I'd be more offended by the location of the statue, than the statue itself. Religious iconography as tacky bar decorations... Ugh. China needs better interior designers!
