Figure 2-15.—Amitibha Buddha. This 42-foot “Daibatsu” who sits in meditation at Kamakura, Japan, is
symbolic of the Buddha. The long ear lobes denotes the Buddha’s aristocratic birth and the mark
on the forehead is symbolic of spiritual insight. Similar statues may be found in almost every
Buddhist place of worship.
