1.) The statues of the Buddhist culture show a lot about the Buddhism's religious lessons and they are all represented in the Buddhist's physical features for example, his half closed eyes mean meditative state, the hands are always in a different position on all the Buddha statues and they all mean different things and some times they have a different variety of long arms. The long ear lobes show the ability to hear any thing necessary to hear in the world. Some times the Buddha is holding up different finger which symbolize different meanings for example, the middle finger means the "hearers" of the teachings ( which would be the people who hear what the Buddha teaches.) the ring finger symbolizes "Solitary realizer’s " and the little finger means "Great Vehicles".
