2. Buddha footprintThe footprint of the Buddha (Buddhapada in Sanskrit, bussokuseki in Japanese) is an imprint of Gautama Buddha's one or both feet. There are two forms: natural, as found in stone or rock, and those made artificially. Many of the "natural" ones, of course, are acknowledged not to be actual footprints of the Buddha, but replicas or representations of them, which can be considered cetiya and also an early aniconic and symbolic representation of the Buddha.
