Buddha Head

THE MEANING OF BUDDHA HEADS

The Buddha is depicted in various iconic forms, but Buddha Heads are among the most popular representations. The head of the Buddha is the most significant part of the Buddhist deity's body. These Buddha Heads are crafted with the intention to symbolize the immense wisdom Buddha possesses as the enlightened one.

Typically, these sculptures feature a protruding head, representing the disconnection between the mind and the body. Buddha Heads are also known to have an 'Ushnisha' - a representation of the Buddha's attainment of enlightenment or Nirvana. The Ushnisha can be depicted in various ways, such as in Thailand, where it resembles a flame placed atop the deity's head.

These Buddha statues not only represent the head of Buddha itself but also embody the relaxation, wisdom, spirituality, and knowledge Buddha acquired throughout his life. They are also recognized as a powerful luck charm in everyday life.
