Pyrite Buddha Carving~CRPYBDC1

Pyrite Buddha Carving~CRPYBDC1. Pyrite encourages the flow of Earth energy (a purifier) into the body, increasing physical stamina and mental acuity. It aids the process of manifestation and creation on all levels. Pyrite is nicknamed "fools gold", reminding us that "money isn't everything". Because of its many forms, it assists us in balancing creativity with logic. It asks us to employ our "male energy". Pyrite itself is a very protective stone, keeping out negative vibrations, shielding on a physical level from harm, repelling pollutants, while energizing the nourishing energies of the body. It allows one to recognize the purity of the universe and to understand that each portion (or person) of the universe maintains an inherent perfection in order to allow the unfolding of impeccability. It encourages the flawless ideal of health, intellect, and emotional well-being. It symbolizes the warmth and lasting presence of the sun and promotes the recall of beautiful memories of love and friendship. It assists one in seeing behind facades, promoting understanding of that which lies beneath words and action. It is also helpful in enhancing memory. The Buddha (also known as Siddhattha Gotama or Siddhārtha Gautama) was a philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in ancient India (c. 5th to 4th century BCE). He is revered as the founder of the world religion of Buddhism. He taught for around 45 years and built a large following, both monastic and lay. His teaching is based on his insight into duḥkha (typically translated as "suffering") and the end of dukkha- the state called Nibbāna or Nirvana. A couple of centuries after his death he came to be known by the title Buddha, which means “Awakened One” or the "Enlightened One". 93mm x 63mm x 59mm.
