Introduction to Shakyamuni Buddha:

Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism and the fully enlightened teacher who revealed the path to liberation from suffering. “Shakyamuni” means “Sage of the Shakya Clan”, reflecting his royal lineage.

Born in ancient India (around the 5th–4th century BCE), he grew up as a prince but, upon encountering old age, sickness, and death, came to realize the inevitability of suffering. Seeking a solution, he renounced worldly life and practiced meditation and asceticism. After deep meditation under the Bodhi tree, he attained enlightenment (nirvana), fully understanding the causes of suffering and the path to liberation.

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.
