 note = {In order to reveal the form of footprints of the Buddha in Sri Lanka, I took rubbings of footprints of the Buddha found locally. Sri Lanka has more footprints remaining than any other country, and diverse types ranging from those adorned with patterns of auspicious symbols to those without patterns are distributed widely throughout the country. Early footprints of the Buddha carved as a symbol of Buddha are decorated with the thousand-spoken wheel that is one of the 32 signs of Buddha, and this was a seal representing Buddha. However, there are also footprints of the Buddha with no patterns and no toes in Sri Lanka. In this paper, I examined footprints of the Buddha without patterns or toes while referring to the Buddhist scriptures to follow changes in Buddhist views and Buddhism. I also examined the significance attached to the patterns of auspicious symbols in Sri Lanka, and how they have been treated.},
