The Story
Each part of this Buddha head is full of meaning. The crown of hair is known as the ushnisha, which symbolizes the knowledge and spiritual ideals espoused by the Buddha. The long ears are better to hear the needs and suffering of the world, and represent compassion. The downcast eyes show a meditative state that looks both outward and inward, and ultimately toward the truth. The full mouth stands for eloquent speech while the slight smile symbolizes remaining calm even in a tumultuous world.
- Material: resin
