Buddha

Buddha

The image of Buddha. Generalized including Bodhisattva, Rohan, Ming Wang, and so on. Although there are two kinds of statues, sculptures and portraits (pictorial), only sculptures are called Buddha statues, while portraits are called images. In ancient India, it was believed that carving Buddha statues was a blasphemy, so ancient carvings such as Shanqi (Sanskrit ^ nchi ^) only symbolized Buddha with the marks of Buddhism, Bodhi tree, Buddha's footprints, etc. Later, with the rise of Mahayana Buddhism, the sculpture of Buddha began to prevail, so there are many records about the cause of the statue and its merits in the Mahayana classics.
