Introduction to Shakyamuni Buddha:
Shakyamuni Buddha has practiced many Bodhisattva activities for countless eons to attain perfect enlightenment. He is regarded as the founder of the world religion of Buddhism, and revered by most Buddhist schools as a savior, the Enlightened One who rediscovered an ancient path to release clinging and craving and escape the cycle of birth and rebirth.
"The one who is aware" is what "Buddha" implies. He was a regular guy whose exceptional lessons inspired people worldwide. Buddha is a title, not a name. It's a Sanskrit phrase that translates to "awake person." The true essence of reality is what a buddha awakens to, which distinguishes Shakyamuni Buddha. A perfect Buddha Statue for your meditation shrine.
Shakyamuni Buddha Nursing Wounded Swan
An important event in the life of Shakyamuni Buddha was his nursing for the wounded swan. Following the myth, Siddhartha came upon an injured swan while hunting while still a prince. He felt sympathy and tenderness for the bird when he saw it suffering and took it into his arms. He gently treated the swan's wounds and lessened its pain as he brought it back to health.
This occurrence is notable because it is one of the earliest times that Siddhartha has shown empathy and compassion for another living being. It is also viewed as foreshadowing his ultimate decision to give up his royal existence and go on a journey of enlightenment. He showed love and the capability to look beyond his ego and goals by tending to the injured swan; these qualities would later be central to his teachings.
In Buddhism, the swan symbolizes transcendence and purity since it represents the path to enlightenment. Siddhartha was metaphorically restoring the swan's health and preparing himself for the journey he would later take. Ultimately, this narrative is a powerful reminder of the need for empathy and compassion and the positive impacts they may have on our lives.

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 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.
