The Buddha symbol represents Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha, in different postures (meditation, protection, teaching). It is a universal symbol of peace, spiritual awakening, and detachment from earthly suffering.
It is used in Buddhist traditions (Zen, Theravāda, Mahāyāna), but also in Hindu culture and personal development movements. It is associated with the higher chakras, particularly the crown chakra, linked to pure consciousness.
Linked to the month of May, which traditionally marks the birth, awakening, and death of the Buddha (Vesak festival), the Buddha symbol is a powerful guide on the path to wisdom, acceptance, and inner calm.
