    position: absolute;
    width: 1.5em;

    width: inherit;
    height: 5em;
    background-color: coral;
    border-radius: 2.5em;
    bottom: 0;
    z-index: -1;
}

.head {
    box-shadow: 
        5.8em 2em 0 -4.8em, /* ear right*/
        -5.8em 2em 0 -4.8em, /* ear left*/
        0 8.6em 0 -4.5em; /* hand */

Radial gradient shown eyebrows:

.head {
    background: 
        radial-gradient(
            circle at 50% 40%,

            transparent 0.6em
        ), /* circle between eyebrows */

    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
    border-radius: 50%;
    bottom: -4em;
    transform: rotateX(100deg);
}

Let the young monk plus or minus:

.buddha {
    animation: animate 3s ease-in-out infinite;
}

@keyframes animate {
    50% {
        transform: translateY(-2em);
    }
}

Let shadow remains in a fixed position, not as people float:

.shadow {
    animation: shadow-animate 3s ease-in-out infinite;
}

@keyframes shadow-animate {
    50% {
        transform: rotateX(100deg) translateY(-10em) scale(0.7);
    }
}

We're done!
