Buddharūpa (बुद्धरूप, literally, "Form of the Awakened One") is the Sanskrit and Pali term used in Buddhism for statues or models of the Buddha. ==Commonalities== Despite cultural and regional differences in the interpretations of texts about the life of Gautama Buddha, there are some general guidelines to the attributes of a Buddharupa: *Fingers and toes are elongated proportionately *Long, aquiline nose *Elongated earlobes *Head protuberance *Broad shoulders The elongated earlobes are vestiges of his life as a prince, when he wore extravagant jewellery. The bump at the top of the head is the ushnisha and represents spirituality, wisdom, and awakening.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iconography of the Buddha )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buddharupa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
