Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as the Sage of the Shakya Clan, was born as Siddhartha Gautama into the Shakya clan in present-day Nepal. Renouncing his royal life after encountering the suffering of old age, sickness, and death, he sought enlightenment and attained Buddhahood under the Bodhi tree. The title Shakyamuni combines his clan’s name with Muni, meaning "sage." Shakyamuni Buddha is seated on a moon disc lotus throne, symbolizing spiritual purity and enlightenment. His right hand often forms the Bhumisparsha Mudra, the earth-touching gesture, signifying his enlightenment and victory over Mara. His left hand may hold the alms bowl, representing his life as a monk, reliant on the generosity of others, and also signifying material detachment and sufficiency. He is seated in the Vajra posture, which symbolizes stability and deep concentration. His serene facial expression reflects wisdom, peace, and compassion. Through these symbolic elements, Shakyamuni Buddha embodies the path to enlightenment and serves as a compassionate guide for all beings.

Introduction to Shayamuni 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.
