About our Statue:

The Nepali Art of Shakyamuni Buddha is crafted from copper and beautifully adorned with 24K gold gilding and intricate gold and acrylic paintings. Measuring 5.9”/15cm in height and 3.7”/9.5cm at the base, it weighs 0.61 kg. Representing the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, this statue symbolizes enlightenment, inner peace, and the path to liberation. Compact yet spiritually powerful, it is ideal for personal altars, meditation spaces, or as a meaningful gift of the spirit.

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 renounced his royal life to pursue a more profound truth that transcended material pleasures and suffering. He was born Prince Siddhartha of the Shakya clan. After years of rigorous asceticism and meditation, he became enlightened under the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha—the Awakened One. He then dedicated his life to teaching the Eightfold Path and the Four Noble Truths to attain liberation. Shakyamuni Buddha stands for the potential for all beings to awaken. He embodies wisdom that leads to ultimate freedom, the victory over ignorance, and the tranquility of non-attachment. His presence is a timeless reminder of the transformative power of inner realization, compassion, and mindfulness.

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.
