THE HEAD OF BUDDHA

 

The 3-D oval on top of the Buddha's head, known as an ushnisha, represents the Buddha's wisdom. The urna is a dot on his forehead that emphasizes the Buddha's profound wisdom once more. Luohan statues, such as the one in the Princeton University Art Museum, or Sakyamuni, the historical Buddha, are commonly depicted in this stance.

The Buddha's head contains the secrets of enlightenment, reflecting the Buddha's wisdom and knowledge. In contemplative silence, the Buddha head resembles a young and lovely Buddha who emanates tranquility and composure.
