There are two knots famous in stories about Buddha. The first is his topknot of hair that he cut off when he crossed Lumbini. That was important because it marked his abandoning of royalty and aristocratic life and dedication to the religious ideals that he preached. It is commonly misinterpreted and mixed with the second, more important knot.

The more important knot is the Ushnisha which is like a crown of hair that is depicted as an oval on his head. It signifies his spiritual power of Buddha and his enlightenment. It is usually depicted in art as some sort of a crown made of hair that consists of infinite amounts of small curls. Historically many debate whether it actually existed or was it all just a myth regarding Buddha.

What ideas and values were most closely associated with the different english settlements in north america? review?
Alex777 [14]
The Whig theory, put into place after the Glorious Revolution, put a premium on the idea of civic virtue, placing the public good above personal interest. To promote such virtue, one needed a society in which property ownership was widespread. An agricultural nation, where farming was thought to encourage honesty, frugality, and independence, was less likely to become corrupt than a society dependent on commerce and manufacturing. In an agrarian society, politics would be less fractious because everyone's interest would be similar. In such a society representatives would be less fractious because everyone's interest would be similar. In such a society representatives would be equally affected by whatever laws they passed. This would prevent them from tyrannizing over the people by passing oppressive laws. 
<span>The Whig view of politics was not democratic. It assumed that only men who owned property had a sufficient permanent stake in society to be trusted to vote.</span>
