representations of the Buddha himself and his impeccable virtues as well as solid proofs of
evidence of the timeless Law of Karma in operation.

moments of peace, hope and happiness in people's hearts. By indirectly giving people uplifting feelings and inviting them to recall the goodness of the Buddha, the donors are said to be supporting fellow human beings in their journeys towards Nibbana.
