About Our Statue :
Sleeping Buddha for Shrine is a hand-painted wooden craft of Buddha in the sleeping position. This 2.56kg statue, which is 50cm wide and 14.5cm tall, makes an excellent focal point for home altars, temples, or meditation nooks. The Sleeping Buddha depicts the Buddha's last moments before entering parinirvana, representing ultimate tranquility, detachment, and enlightenment.
This wooden figurine was painstakingly carved and hand-painted in vibrant acrylic hues by skilled artisans, paying homage to traditional Tibetan and Himalayan creative skills. The Reclining Buddha's placid countenance and graceful stance exude peace and inner tranquility. Crafted from wood, this sculpture is both a sacred object and a work of spiritual art, making it suitable for anyone seeking a deeper connection to Buddhism. It also makes a thoughtful gift for practitioners, collectors, and anybody who appreciates Zen aesthetics.
Introduction To The Reclining Buddha :
This particular posture in the Buddha's life appears to have originated at the same time as the other Buddha symbols and images, most notably in the Greek-influenced Gandharan period Buddhist arts. Many other regions have followed it in their Buddhist art to represent one of the pivotal moments in the Buddha's life. In Buddhism, this stance of the Buddha is known as the mahaparinirvanasana. When the Buddha realized his death was coming while in this position, he requested his students to create a couch in a bush to make it easier for him to lie down.
How do take care of your statues?
-Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
-Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.
-Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by 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 with the bare hand objects can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
