"Buddha" hand Carved Crystal Pendant in German Silver

In about the sixth century B.C. Siddhartha (Gautam Buddha) was born into a royal family. When he was a young adult his experiences with the outside world drove him to seek out a greater understanding of life and spiritual fulfilment.Through seeking guidance and meditation, Siddhartha achieved Enlightenment. From that point, he was known as the Buddha, which means 'Enlightened One'. For the rest of his life, the Buddha travelled great distances teaching people about one path to salvation.

After the Buddha's death, his pupils continued to spread his teachings. Buddhism developed at a time when Hinduism, the most widespread religion in India, had become tightly controlled by priests and the upper classes. Buddhism offered hope and access to spiritual understanding and satisfaction to ordinary people.

Throughout the world today, people still follow the teachings of the Buddha.

In Hinduism Lord Buddha is considered as Ninth Avatar of Lord Vishnu.

This Pendant is carved in Crystal and Binded in German Silver.
