'''Gatbawi''' or '''Stone Seated Medicine Buddha at Gwan Peak, Mt. Palgong in Gyeongsan''' is a [[Korean Buddhism|Buddhist]] statue in [[Daehan-ri]], [[Wachon-myeon]], [[Gyeongsan]], [[Gyeongsangbuk-do]], the [[Republic of Korea]]. It was made in the [[Unified Silla]] Kingdom era and is well known with the name of Gatbawi Buddha (Stone Hat Buddha). It sits {{convert|4|m|ft}} tall, and the hat is a {{convert|15|cm|in|0|adj=on}} thick flat stone on his head,<br />
<br />
This single granite sculpture was made up by [[Uihyeon]], at the top of the {{convert|850|m|ft|adj=on}} high rough [[Palgongsan]] and is surrounded by a screen-like rock wall as its background. It is said that Uihyeon made it in order to appease his mother's soul in the 7th ruling year of [[Queen Seondeok]] of [[Silla]] Kingdom.<br />
<br />
==Legend==<br />
The legend of Daegu Gatbawi says that a big crane flew in to guard him every night while he was making this Gatbawi Buddha. It is reputed to be a miraculous Buddha stone, which makes a response to prayers if the prayer prays for it with their whole heart.<br />
