Bodhisattva Buddha Shakyamuni Statue
About Our Statue :
Bodhisattva Buddha Shakyamuni Statue is depicted in the statue sitting on a multitiered platform in the lotus pose, signifying his elevated and enlightened state. His hands are raised in the mudra of touching the Earth, symbolizing the time he called the Earth to witness his release from the cycles of reincarnation beneath the Bodhi tree.
The statue's backdrop is beautifully sculpted, with many smaller Buddhas in meditation stances nestled within an exquisite alcove. This arrangement symbolizes Buddha's omniscience, with each small figurine representing a distinct facet of his teachings and values.
The craftsmanship of this statue is of the greatest quality, with the gold plating not only giving a visually magnificent impact but also serving a symbolic purpose in Buddhism, where gold is frequently connected with purity, the sacred, and spiritual prosperity. The sculptures' careful workmanship, from the curls of the Buddha's hair to the patterns on the seat, demonstrates the great artistry and dedication of the workers.
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. When he was about 29 years old, he learned of people's immense suffering. 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 of 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 completely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by 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 with the bare hand objects can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
