About Our Statue : 
This exquisite Gautama Buddha statue, standing 7.1 inches tall with a 4.7-inch base and weighing 0.95 kg, is crafted from copper and shimmering 24K gold gilding, enhanced by intricate gold and acrylic paintings. It tells the story of Siddhartha Gautama, the enlightened sage born into the noble Shakya clan, renowned for their leadership and spiritual depth. More than a beautiful piece, this statue is a gentle yet profound reminder of the Buddha’s teachings, offering wisdom, compassion, and guidance along the path to enlightenment.

Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, is represented in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, with his right hand softly touching the ground, inviting it to witness his waking. This stance represents unshakable commitment and the moment of enlightenment underneath the Bodhi tree. His peaceful, kind look lulls you into silence, while the full-lotus stance and intricate double-lotus foundation highlight spiritual stability. The statue's towering height and weight make it suitable for shrines, temple sanctuaries, or houses dedicated to profound meditation and contemplation.

Gautama Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni Buddha, was a spiritual teacher and the founder of Buddhism, born as Siddhartha Gautama in ancient Nepal. Renouncing his royal life in search of truth, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and shared the path to liberation from suffering. At the core of his teachings are the Four Noble Truths: the truth of suffering (duḥkha), its origin (samudaya), its cessation (nirodha), and the path leading to its cessation (marga). This path is known as the Noble Eightfold Path, which includes right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration—a guide to ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom that leads to the end of suffering and ultimate freedom (nirvaṇa).

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 to embark on a transformative journey within ourselves.

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 a 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.
