The Buddha: Aniconic and Iconic Representation Swe Zin Myint In the earlier period after the Buddha, Gautama Sakyamuni, Buddhists specified the Buddha as the symbols for worshipping in aniconic form at first and anthropomorphic or iconic form later in India. Among these aniconic representations of the Buddha, the stupa is the most popular form until now in comparing with other aniconic representations. The stupa is the first religious object for worshipping relating to the remains after the decease of the Buddha. Later, Buddha images have been carved as the iconic representations of the Buddha. It is an evidence that the Buddhists brought these representations of Buddha into existence and started worshipping. In this research, how the Buddha images and the stupas are related to each other will be analyzed with reference to three specific examples. 2020-05-30 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000005626 https://meral.edu.mm/records/5626
