Borobudur has many statues of Buddhas. Of the original five hundred and four Buddha statues over three hundred are damaged or headless, and forty-three are missing, have been stolen, or spirited away to museums in western countries. There is a subtle difference between the Buddhas especially with regards to the position of the hands. Each position has its own symbolism.
