Phra Pathom Chedi : Buddha Images (8)

Descending from Tavatimsa Heaven (Revealing the Worlds)
The Buddha descended from Tavatimsa heaven, and performed a miracle whereby the three worlds were joined together, and the inhabitants of each could see one another. [variant]

Halting the Sandalwood Image
Standing with his left hand raised, the Buddha prevents the approach of a sandalwood image of himself.
While the Buddha was in Tavatimsa heaven, King Udayana had a sandalwood replica of the Buddha made. When the Buddha returned from heaven, the image miraculously came to live and greeted him. The Buddha made the statue stop and return to his seat, to be a model for further representations of the Buddha.
