Who's too short?
Dormice are charmingly petite, while the Spring Temple Buddha, being one of the largest statues in the world, is rather, ummmm, big.
Would not the imposing size alone have been a disappointment to Siddhartha Gautama himself,who attained his connection to The Divine in simple silence, sitting under a tree?
Therefore, small and subtle is more admirable than large and ostentatious.
