In the carvings of Buddha's head especially, one will notice the elongated earlobes. The wealthy men of that time weighted their ears with precious metals and stones, but the Buddha consciously renounced his material connections for a life of spiritual enlightenment. His earlobes stayed permanently elongated but were void of riches. Traditionally keeping a statue of the head alone symbolizes the Buddhas wealth of knowledge. These can serve as a reminder to always challenge oneself to continue learning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Lemuria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51403333763288,"sku":"218TF1945","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6826\/0669\/files\/TF1945_b99bf471-468a-4b8e-bd63-f03479dbb2b4.png?v=1771449040","url":"https:\/\/littlelemuria.com\/products\/ruby-corundum-buddha-head-carving-218tf1945","provider":"Little Lemuria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
