The Hindu Roots of the 'Buddhist' Lion's Roar

The Lion as a symbol and image is found at the very heart of Buddhism. The Lion was of central importance to all Indo-Aryan cultures, and was the name of the original recorded Indo-Aryan martial art, Simhanada-Vajramukti (The Lion's Roar! - Diamond Thunderbolt Fist) and was the martial art of Indra, the King of the Indo-Aryan Vedic Gods.
