Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in a peaceful, meditative posture with his eyes half-closed, radiating a sense of deep inner calm and awakened awareness. His right hand is positioned in the bhūmisparśa mudrā (earth-touching gesture), marking when he called the Earth to witness his enlightenment. His left hand holds an alms bowl, symbolizing simplicity, renunciation, and the monastic lifestyle. Resting atop his head is the uṣṇīṣa, a symbol of supreme wisdom, while his hair is coiled in snail-like forms, alluding to the famous story of snails sheltering him from the sun during his extended meditation. He sits in the vajra posture on a moon disc lotus base, embodying spiritual stability, purity, and focused determination. Behind him, two blooming lotus flowers represent the purity that arises from samsara and the blossoming of enlightenment. This peaceful and elegant depiction captures the presence of the Buddha, calm, noble, and significant.
Introduction to Shakyamuni Buddha :
Siddhartha Gautama was raised as a king following the wishes of his royal father and was born the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom. At about 29, 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 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 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.
