Oddbean new post about login | logout Tell me about these Buddha ears ha. Is there actually significance behind them? I picked up Eastern Philosophy from Allan Watts and I found their concepts very challenging to understand. It wasn't even just foreign, it was out of this world and alien like thinking.
Haha it just analogies and allegories. Buddha was an awakened soul and his ears can be showed as deep inner wisdom as he listened to the audible life stream which many religions call “Word”, “Naam”, “Shabd”, “Kalma”, etc… You listen to the inner sound and it takes you into the beyond with deep lifelong practice that is.
