Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted seated in padmasana (lotus posture) on a lotus base, symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening. His right hand is in the bhumisparsha mudra, touching the earth to call it as a witness to his enlightenment. In contrast, the left hand holds an alms bowl, representing renunciation, compassion, and sustenance. This combination reflects the balance of wisdom and method central to Buddhist practice.
Displaying this Shakyamuni Buddha statue invites calm, focus, and mindfulness, serving as a source of inspiration and meditation. It encourages inner peace, spiritual growth, and a deeper connection to the path of awakening, making it an ideal addition to personal altars or contemplative spaces.
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, 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 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 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.
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.
