Introduction to Shakyamuni Buddha
Shakyamuni Buddha was an ascetic and spiritual teacher of South Asia who lived during the latter half of the first millennium BCE. He was the founder of Buddhism and is revered by Buddhists as an Enlightened being whose teachings sought a path to freedom from ignorance, craving, rebirth and suffering.
Siddhartha Gautama Denouncing His Religion
The statue portrays an event in Buddha's Life where he denounced his religion. Renunciation, commonly known as Siddhartha Gautam Buddha's abandonment of religion, is a crucial turning point in his life. It alludes to when he gave up his lavish lifestyle and regal title to become an ascetic in pursuit of the truth and a means to end the misery.
This incident served as the catalyst for his enlightenment and the foundation of Buddhism, marking the start of his spiritual path. According to legend, Siddhartha Gautam was deeply troubled by the suffering he observed around him at the age of 29, which led him to renounce his life of luxury and seek a deeper comprehension of the nature of existence.
His renunciation represents the significance of Buddhism's quest for spiritual truth and separation from sensual pleasures. It teaches us the importance of letting go of attachments and desires that bring us to pain instead of engaging in spiritual practice to achieve inner tranquility and contentment.
Buddha's renunciation of religion serves as a reminder of the value of letting go of suffering-causing materialistic wants and attachments. Realizing that contentment and inner serenity could only be obtained by spiritual practice and enlightenment, he understood that life's pleasures and comforts were transient and illusory. This experience teaches us the value of self-control and renunciation, as well as the necessity of letting go of material belongings and wants in order to achieve higher spiritual aspirations.

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 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.
