There are thought to be over 3000 Buddha footprints all over Asia, carved into stone, rock or metal. The footprints are meant to symbolise Buddha's presence on earth and serve as a reminder that he left a spiritual path for his followers; they contain a variety of typical Buddhist images. We have based our colouring page on the footprints found in the Giant Wild Goose pagoda in Shaanxi province, China.
The swastika is often found on Buddha's footprints and, in Buddhism, symbolises good fortune and good luck.
