Yes, it's a true story from the life of Buddha, Surmount. I went to a Buddhist meeting a few months ago and heard that one in the teachings. I was most impressed by it for it made me think, what would I have done under the same circumstances? Not sure where to find the actual written story. I must go to another meeting and ask them.

Kamakura era Buddha

Tang era Buddha

Buddha in Hong Kong today

Buddha in Tibet

Goguryo Buddha

Thai style Buddha

Buddha in Sri Lanka

Buddha in Vietnam

And two of the earliest styles of depiction for Buddha:
Gandharan Buddha

Mathuran Buddha


The Goguryro Buddha looks almost Middle Eastern
