The Lion is one of Buddhism's most potent symbols. Traditionally, the lion is associated with regality, strength and power. It is therefore an appropriate symbol for the Buddha who tradition has it was a royal prince. The Buddha's teachings are sometimes referred to as the 'Lion's Roar', again indicative of their strength and power.

During Ashoka's reign, he emphasized the traditional Buddhist ideal of taking "
refuge in the dharma, the Sangha, and the Buddha," symbolized by three lions that often adorned the tops of the Rock Pillars.
