Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical founder of Buddhism, is depicted in the Reclining posture, which portrays the Buddha lying on his right side, signifying his final moments before entering Parinirvana. A state of ultimate enlightenment beyond the cycle of rebirth. This serene posture embodies the Buddha's detachment from worldly suffering and his attainment of ultimate peace. This statue is valuable to meditation rooms, altars, or home decor, promoting peace and introspection.

Displaying the Sleeping Buddha statue promotes awareness, inner tranquility, and spiritual enlightenment. It is ideal for personal holy spaces or as a thoughtful gift, reminding us of the Buddha's teachings on impermanence and ultimate liberation.

Introduction To The Sleeping Buddha :

This particular posture in the Buddha's life appears to have originated at the same time as the other Buddha symbols and images, most notably in the Greek-influenced Gandharan period Buddhist arts. Many other regions have followed it 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. When the Buddha realized his death was coming while in this position, he requested his students to create a couch in a bush to make it easier for him to lie down.

How do take care of your statues?

-Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
-Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely 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.
