THIS IS THE BUDDHA'S FOOT PRINT 


Buddha's foot print or Buddhapada is one of the aniconic symbols of Buddhism which is to say it doesn't attempt to be a true likeness of the master.  The frist foot prints were engraved in stone.  Traditionally, the toes of the feet are of equal length.  These carvings bear the imprint of the dharma wheel at the centre of the sole.  Sculpted images of the Buddha's footprints appeared long before any statues and carvings depicted the human form of buddha which came several centuries later.  


Buddha's footprint come in another form called a "relic".  These  are naturally occuring rock formations in the shape of footprint.  Myths have grown up around some of the relics, including the Buddha's magical visits to those countries that have perpetuated his teachings.  Many of these natural foot prints have become places of pilgrimage for the devoted.  The most famous are located in Srilanka,Thailand and China.
