An Ugly Buddha Fixed an Ugly Woman and Made Her a Beauty.
According to the suggestions of theorists, ancient artists felt that the archaic smile represented theblessing of the gods for the actions of the figures portrayed. It is also thought that this smile reflected a state of ideal health and well-being. In Buddhist countries, most people think the Buddha’s face looks merciful. In ancient Korea, Baekje sculptures exhibited distinct characteristics of warmth and softness and used relaxed poses to convey friendliness and an air of pleasantness that is rarely found in other traditions of Buddhist sculpture.1,2 However, contrary to our expectations, there has been an “ugly Buddha,” as described in the “Sutta-Nipata.”3 At that timetherewasborn to thefirstwife ofKingPrasenajit a daughter who was named Vajra. The child’s features and complexion were exceedingly ugly and her flesh was as rough as the hide of a horse. Her hair was as coarse as a wild horse’s mane, and the king and queen regarded her with horror, kept her hidden away in the palace, and allowed no one to see her. The king found an impoverished noble who is unmarried and this man became King’s son in law (prince). This prince was ordered by the King to lock the gates and take the key with him to hide his ugly princess. In the deep castle, the princess was thinking: “Because of what former sinful deeds have I been born so ugly and am obliged to live in this dark house, never seeing the sun or man, never meeting other people, and subjected to such suffering?” Bowing to the Buddha from afar, she prayed mentally: “Lord, compassionately show me my former existences, I beseech you.” The Buddha immediately knew her ardent desire and appeared to her, showing only his flamelike tuft of hair or usnisa. When the princess saw this, she rejoiced greatly, had faith, and her mind became totally pure. Because hermind had becomepure, her hair became soft and black.

When the princess saw this, she rejoiced greatly and because of her faith her face became beautiful and lovely, and its coarseness and ugliness disappeared.
