About our Statue:
This humble and beautiful Shakyamuni Buddha Shrine Statue, hand-sculpted by a skilled craftsman, symbolizes peace and simplicity. It is gilded in 24K gold and showcases traditional Himalayan workmanship handed down through generations of Nepali artisans. This Gautam Buddha sculpture features a tranquil and magnificent shape, representing the region's timeless beauty.
The sculpture depicts Buddha with his right hand resting on his knee and his fingers touching the earth, forming the Earth-touching mudra. His left hand is pleasantly resting on his lap, holding an alms bowl. This attitude represents enlightenment, anchoring, and the Buddha's bond with the earth and his pupils.
Siddhartha Gautama was born as the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom and nurtured to be a king in line with his royal father's aspirations. However, when he was around 29 years old, he learned about people's tremendous pain. He abandoned his palace life and gave up his magnificent robes and gold to uncover the reasons for this anguish and the methods to alleviate it. After nearly six years of study, self-deprivation, and severe concentration, he achieved his aim. He had attained enlightenment (a Buddha). He claimed to have then proceeded to a deer park in Sarnath (Benares), India, on the outskirts of Varanasi.
Introduction to Shakyamuni Buddha:
Shakyamuni Buddha renounced his royal life to pursue a more profound truth that transcended material pleasures and suffering. He was born Prince Siddhartha of the Shakya clan. After years of rigorous asceticism and meditation, he became enlightened under the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha, the Awakened One. He then dedicated his life to teaching the Eightfold Path and the Four Noble Truths to attain liberation. Shakyamuni Buddha stands for the potential for all beings to awaken. He embodies wisdom that leads to ultimate freedom, the victory over ignorance, and the tranquility of non-attachment. His presence is a timeless reminder of the transformative power of inner realization, compassion, and mindfulness.
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.
