About Our Product

This Spiritual Fasting Buddha Altar Statue is a sacred Buddhist sculpture crafted from an oxidized copper body, measuring 24 cm in height, 15.5 cm in length, and 8 cm in width, with a weight of 2.76 kg. The statue represents the period of deep austerity practiced by Siddhartha Gautama before his enlightenment, showing his extreme discipline, meditation, and search for truth. Its powerful form makes it a meaningful piece for Buddhist altars, meditation rooms, shrine spaces, and spiritual home decor.

The sculpture depicts the Buddha in a fasting form, with visible ribs, a calm face, seated meditation posture, and hands resting in deep concentration. The thin body reflects his years of intense ascetic practice, while the peaceful expression shows inner strength, awareness, and spiritual determination. The oxidized copper finish adds depth to the body, robe, halo, and base, creating a solemn devotional presence that reflects the seriousness of the Buddha’s journey toward awakening.

In Buddhist tradition, the Fasting Buddha reminds practitioners of the Middle Way, the path beyond both indulgence and extreme hardship. After realizing that severe austerity was not the final path to enlightenment, Siddhartha accepted nourishment and continued toward awakening beneath the Bodhi tree. Placed on an altar, this statue inspires meditation, discipline, peace, wisdom, and the courage to seek truth with balance and compassion.

Introduction To Fasting Shakyamuni Buddha:

Shakyamuni traveled south from Shakya's palace in Kapilavastu to Rajagriha, the capital of the kingdom of Magadha, where he studied with Alara Kalama and subsequently Uddaka Ramaputta, both yogic meditation instructors. Despite mastering their different types of meditation fast, he was unable to discover solutions to his queries in these disciplines.
