Introduction To The Sleeping Buddha :

This particular posture in the Buddha's life originated at the same time as the other Buddhist symbols and images, most notably in the Greek-influenced Gandharan period of Buddhist art. Many different regions have followed suit in their Buddhist art to represent one of the pivotal moments in the Buddha's life. In Buddhism, this stance of the Buddha is known as the mahaparinirvanasana, where the Buddha realized his death was approaching. While in this position, he requested his students to create a couch near a bush to make it easier for him to lie down.
