Adulthood

Siddhartha was married, to a woman named Queen 

Yashodara, but had only one child. 

Occupation

He was a Kshatriya, and 

never really realized the 

world around him. He 

meditated under the tree 

of wisdom, for seven 

weeks, which led him to 

the answers. After this he 

became the Buddha. 

The Buddha's Ear lobes 

The earlobes are elongated, partly to 

indicate the Buddha is all-hearing and 

also as a reminder of the heavy 

earrings that weighed them down 

before Siddhartha announced he was 

going to seek enlightenment. 

The Buddha's Head

If you are wondering, why some 

Buddha's have giant bumps on their 

heads, I will give you the answer. The 

bump on his head, is to symbolize 

wisdom, if he has a jewel on his head, 

it is to represent brilliance. 

Why is the Buddha fat?

Finally, I have found the answer to my question, 

Why is the Buddha fat? The best answer I found, 

was that fat men, are benevolent, which means to 

be well meaning, and kind. Another example of 

this, is Saint Nicholas, or as we commonly know 

him, Santa Clauss. 

Conclusion

We are definetly excited we got to share this exciting 

information wih you. We hope you learned something 

more about the Buddha than before.
