About Our Statue:

This Handmade Shakyamuni Buddha Statue, depicting Gautama Buddha, stands 6.3 inches (16 cm) tall with a base width of 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) and weighs 0.56 kilograms. Made from a copper body, it is beautifully adorned with 24K gold gilding and detailed gold and acrylic paintings. Crafted by skilled Nepali artisans, this statue exemplifies traditional craftsmanship and makes a perfect addition to personal altars, meditation spaces, or spiritual collections.

The statue depicts Shakyamuni Buddha seated in the lotus posture (padmasana) on a lotus base, symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening. His right hand is raised in the abhaya mudra, the gesture of fearlessness and protection, while his left hand rests on his lap in the dhyana mudra, representing meditation and concentration. He wears a simple monastic robe and has the ushnisha (cranial bump) on his head, symbolizing his enlightened wisdom. A serene expression reflects his deep compassion and inner peace.

Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born as a prince in ancient India over 2,500 years ago, he renounced his royal life to seek the truth about suffering and the path to liberation. After years of meditation and spiritual practice, he attained enlightenment (bodhi) under the Bodhi tree, becoming the “Awakened One” or Buddha.

Introduction to Shakyamuni Buddha:

Shakyamuni Buddha, once Prince Siddhartha of the Shakya clan, left behind his royal comforts to seek a more profound truth beyond the joys and sorrows of the world. Through intense meditation and ascetic practice beneath the Bodhi tree, he attained enlightenment and became the Buddha—the Awakened One. Devoted to sharing the path to liberation, he taught the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. Shakyamuni symbolizes the potential for awakening in everyone, embodying wisdom that conquers ignorance and fosters serene detachment. His enduring presence invites us to cultivate compassion and mindfulness, and to embark on a transformative journey within ourselves.

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 a 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.
