Sleeping Buddha of Afghanistan

Rav called me, to ask me to join their party downstairs and I said no thanks. I'm watching this great documentary on National Geographic called "Hidden Buddha", about Afghanistan's hidden Buddha statue in the province of Bamyan. By tradition, a reclining or sleeping Buddha, which is his position when he reached nirvana, would always have his head face east, and legs west. They could have found his feet.
