Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical founder of Buddhism, is portrayed seated in padmasana (lotus posture) upon a lotus base, symbolizing purity and spiritual elevation above worldly attachments. His right hand touches the earth in the bhumisparsha mudra (earth-touching gesture), representing the moment of enlightenment when he called upon the Earth to witness his victory over Māra, the embodiment of delusion.

His left hand rests in dhyana mudra (meditation gesture) upon his lap, signifying deep contemplation and inner balance. The ushnisha, the cranial protuberance atop his head, represents his supreme wisdom and awakened consciousness. Together, these features express Shakyamuni Buddha’s serene presence, enlightenment, and the union of wisdom and compassion.

Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Shakyamuni Buddha, rediscovered the Middle Way and is regarded as the enlightened one who established Buddhism. His teachings on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path have helped numerous people comprehend the nature of suffering, its causes, and the way to liberation. Shakyamuni's life exemplifies the possibility for all beings to attain enlightenment via practice and moral behavior, from his renunciation to his enlightenment and teaching career.

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.
