Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, appears in almost all the monasteries of Tibet. He is said to be a descendant of the royal family of ancient India. His life is shrouded in myth and legend. According to one such legend, he was able to walk just moments after being born. He took seven steps and lotuses sprouted from the ground his feet had touched. Several years later he became a monk and attained enlightenment under a banyan tree. Statues and paintings usually depict Sakyamuni with a round face and long ears down to the shoulder. He has a noble, kind and wise physiognomy. There is a small white dot between his brows. His hair is dextral and bulges into a knot at the top. He usually wears a loose-fitting robe that leaves his chest and right shoulder exposed. A golden aura emanates from his body. His chest, palms, and the undersides of his feet are marked with the Buddhist Swastika (卐). His hands are usually placed in a symbolic position. He is commonly depicted in one of three positions: standing, sitting cross-legged, or lying on his right side.  
 
Other well-known Buddhas, such as Vairocana, Buddha of the central world, Amitabha, the master of the Western Pure Land, Maitreya, the Laughing Buddha, Sangye Menla, the Medicine Buddha, and the Buddha of the Eastern Pure Land, are also common sights in Tibetan temples. These Buddhas look similar, but have slightly different gestures and poses.
