About Our Statue 

The Golden Shakyamuni Buddha Sculpture symbolizes the Buddha's deep teachings and the path to spiritual awakening. This handcrafted statue is 8.3" (Height) x 5.9" (Base) and weighs 1.53 kg. It is made of copper, decorated with gold electroplated, and enhanced with gold and acrylic paints. This sacred statue, created by expert Nepalese artisans, represents the craftsmanship of Himalayan Buddhism, making it an inspirational addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.

Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted sitting in the lotus pose (padmasana), indicating his steady concentration and mastery over the distractions of the material world. His right hand stretched toward the earth in bhumisparsha mudra represents his moment of enlightenment, inviting the earth to witness his waking. The left hand, lying gently in his lap in dhyana mudra holding an alms bowl depicts the profound state of meditation and mindfulness that leads to insight and clarity.

Shakyamuni Siddhartha Gautama was Buddha's original name. Only when he became the Buddha was he given the name Shakyamuni. Buddha means "awakened one" in Sanskrit. In his left hand, he carries an alms bowl filled with three priceless nectars, signifying his victory over the three demons of uncontrollable death, polluted aggregates, and delusion.

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.
