The Symbolic Patterns

The soles are adorned with complex gold drawings known as Bussoku (Buddha's Footprints). These represent the 32 physical characteristics of a "Great Man" in Buddhism and the 108 auspicious symbols.

  • The Dharma Wheel: At the center of each foot is a large wheel, symbolizing the "Turning of the Wheel of Dharma" (the spread of Buddha's teachings).

  • Other Icons: You will find symbols like the Lotus (purity), the Vajra (spiritual power), and Golden Fish (happiness and prosperity). These patterns are meant to signify the Buddha’s mercy and his profound wisdom.
