Shakyamuni Buddha sits in peaceful meditation, his half-closed eyes radiating calm insight and awakened clarity. With his right hand touching the earth in the bhūmisparśa mudrā, he calls the Earth to bear witness to his enlightenment. In his left hand rests a delicate alms bowl, a symbol of humility and renunciation. Atop his head shines the ushnisha, representing supreme wisdom, while his snail-coiled hair tells the whimsical story of snails protecting him from the sun during long meditations. Poised in the vajra posture on a moon disc lotus, he embodies purity, steadiness, and serene focus—an artistic homage to the eternal Buddha.

Gautama Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni, began his journey as Siddhartha Gautama, a prince from ancient Nepal who courageously left behind royal luxury in search of deeper truth. Beneath the Bodhi tree, he attained enlightenment and unveiled a path to end suffering. At the heart of his teachings lie the Four Noble Truths: acknowledging suffering, understanding its origin, realizing its cessation, and following the path to liberation. This journey—the Noble Eightfold Path—guides us through right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration, leading to ethical living, mental clarity, and the ultimate freedom known as nirvāṇa.
