About our Statue:
This 7.8" Shakyamuni Buddha Statue is an exquisitely crafted representation of the Enlightened Being of Buddhism. Its intricate details bring to life the physical beauty of Buddhism, creating a spiritual atmosphere that allows you to feel spiritually connected.

The Enlightened being is depicted sitting atop a lotus seat with a calm expression. His right hand is downward in the earth-touching gesture (bhumisparsha mudra), with which he calls the earth goddess Sthavara to affirm that he is entitled to attain enlightenment, and in his right hand, he holds an alms bowl. His face is painted with 24k genuine gold powder, making it most delicate. 

Shakyamuni, often referred to as "The Buddha," was a prince named Siddhartha Gautama who embarked on a spiritual journey after witnessing the suffering in life. He presented his insights after reaching enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, laying the groundwork for Buddhism. His teachings emphasize the abolition of suffering, personal awakening, and the attainment of Nirvana.

Introduction to Shakyamuni Buddha :

Siddhartha Gautama was raised as a king in accordance with his royal father's wishes and was born the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom. At about 29 years old, he learned of the immense suffering of others. He renounced his palatial lifestyle, lavish clothing, and fortune to discover the source of the anguish and find a cure. After over six years of study, self-denial, and tremendous concentration, he finally achieved his objective. He had attained nirvana (a Buddha). He then asserted that he had visited a deer park outside of Varanasi, India's Sarnath (Benares).

How do you take care of your statues?

•    Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
•    Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
•    Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by the Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet. 
•    Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
