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.
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 embark on a transformative journey within.

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.

• Handmade items may have slight variations

• Colors may differ slightly due to natural materials and lighting

Consecration Service Available

Each statue contains a sacred chamber for mantra and relic fillings to bestow spiritual empowerment. During consecration, these sacred items are placed inside and blessed through traditional rituals performed by the ordained monks. There is a fee for this service, offered as a respectful contribution to the monastery.

Please Note: Once consecrated, the statue becomes a sacred object and cannot be returned or refunded.
