About Our Product

Meditation Icon Shakyamuni Buddha stands at 5.7 inches (14.5 cm) in height with a base width of 4.3 inches (11 cm) and weighs approximately 0.574 kilograms. Expertly crafted from a solid copper body, it is adorned with 24K gold gilding and enhanced with fine gold and acrylic paintings. Despite its smaller size, the statue maintains intricate detail and spiritual presence, making it a perfect addition to personal altars, meditation corners, or sacred spaces. It symbolizes peace, enlightenment, and inner clarity, reflecting the timeless teachings of the historical Buddha.

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 the bhumisparsha mudra, representing his moment of enlightenment, as he invited the earth to witness his awakening. 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 Buddha, once Prince Siddhartha of the Shakya clan, left behind his royal comforts to seek a deeper truth beyond worldly joys and sorrows. Through intense meditation and ascetic practice beneath the Bodhi tree, he attained enlightenment and became the Buddha—the Awakened One. Devoted to sharing the Eightfold Path and Four Noble Truths, he guides all beings toward liberation. Representing the potential for awakening, Shakyamuni Buddha symbolizes wisdom that conquers ignorance and the serene freedom found in letting go. His image invites us to embrace compassion, mindfulness, and the transformative journey within.

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.
