Shakyamuni Buddha is shown in a serene, meditative pose with eyes gently half-closed, reflecting deep inner calm and awakened awareness. His right hand displays the bhūmisparśa mudrā, or earth-touching gesture, marking the moment he summoned the Earth as witness to his enlightenment. In his left hand, he holds an alms bowl, symbolizing detachment and the humble lifestyle of a monk. The uṣṇīṣa, a crown-like bump on his head, signifies supreme wisdom, while his hair is styled in tight snail-shell curls, inspired by the legend of snails shielding him from the sun during extended meditation. Seated in the vajra posture atop a lotus moon disc base, he embodies stability, spiritual purity, and unwavering concentration. This elegant iconography honors the profound and dignified presence of the historical Buddha.

Gautama Buddha, or Shakyamuni Buddha, was a revered spiritual leader and the founder of Buddhism, born Siddhartha Gautama in ancient Nepal. Leaving behind his royal heritage, he achieved enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree. He revealed the path to overcoming suffering. Central to his teachings are the Four Noble Truths: recognizing suffering, understanding its cause, realizing its end, and following the Noble Eightfold Path. This path—encompassing right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration—offers a practical guide to ethical living and mental clarity, leading to liberation and lasting peace.
