Some followers
of Buddha believe that all Buddha images have a
protective supernatural power. They treasure all forms resembling
a Buddha image. Some believe that Buddha images have no
special power until they are blessed by a Buddhist monk
to call forth a spirit Other Buddhists believe that Buddha
images have simply a power to inspire one's own divinity. Some
Buddhists believe the image of Buddha will bring
them good luck.
