Infant Buddha


"Immediately after Siddhartha was born, he took seven steps east, west, south and north, pointed at heaven and earth, and with his arms outstretched, said "The chief am I in the world."

This was with a bronze figurine of a young, agile Buddha in the Korea section of the Royal Ontario Museum. I can't find the same picture on the web. I'm disappointed because the one I saw had an amused expression I loved.
