- Description
- Kannon Bosatsu's right hand points earthward, while the left holds a vase containing a lotus flower. The figure wears a crown of eleven small heads-eight as a base, two positioned center-front in the second row, and one at the very top. The top-most head is that of Buddha. Upon ten of these small heads is an image of Amida Buddha on his diadem. Altogether these represent the sections of the Vajra World (Kongokai, the World of Wisdom). The series of expressions on the ten small heads represent the sections of the Garbha World (Taizokai, the World of Reason).
