Buddha pendant

      Buddha is one of the many epithets of a teacher who lived in northern India sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries before the Common Era. He is considered to be the founder of Buddhism, one of the major religious and philosophical systems of southern and eastern Asia.
      In general, ‘Buddha’ means ‘Awakened One’, someone who has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and sees things as they really are. A Buddha is a person who is completely free from all faults and mental obstructions.
