Footprints of the Buddha

Footprints of the Buddha

The Footprints of the Buddha is a 21 poetic sequence which can be found preserved on an inscribed stele at Yakushiji in Nara, the sequence brought together through use of the Principles of Integration.

The authorship is unknown and studies have shown some of the poems from the collections are earlier than others as they contain different linguistical time differentials.¹
