About Our Statue :
This Shakyamuni Buddha Enlightened Presence Statue is a finely crafted representation of Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha and teacher whose teachings form the foundation of Buddhism. Made from a copper body and richly finished with 24K gold gilding, the statue features a peaceful facial expression, neatly detailed hair, monastic robes, elongated ears, and a carefully carved lotus base. The balanced proportions and refined details reflect the traditional Himalayan approach to Buddhist sculpture.
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted seated in the full lotus posture, with his right hand touching the earth in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, recalling the moment of his enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree when he called the earth to witness his awakening. His left hand rests in his lap holding an alms bowl, representing renunciation, simplicity, and the practice of cultivating inner wisdom. The calm expression reflects the serenity attained through meditation, while the lotus throne symbolizes purity and the emergence of awakened wisdom above worldly conditions.
This Shakyamuni Buddha Statue is suitable for Buddhist altars, meditation spaces, monasteries, shrine rooms, prayer areas, and sacred collections. It can be used as an object of devotion and contemplation, reminding practitioners of the Buddha's journey from seeking to awakening and the path of wisdom, compassion, and liberation. The combination of a copper body, 24K gold gilding, traditional iconography, and detailed lotus throne makes this a meaningful piece of Himalayan Buddhist sacred art.
Introduction of Shakyamuni Buddha
Siddhartha Gautama was raised to be a monarch in accordance with the goals of his royal father after being born as the powerful Shakya Kingdom's crown prince. But when he was approximately 29 years old, he became aware of the excruciating suffering endured by humans. He gave up his palatial lifestyle, lavish clothing, and wealth to learn the causes of this suffering and how to put an end to it. He succeeded in his goal after nearly six years of study, self-deprivation, and intense focus. He was now fully enlightened (a Buddha). On the outskirts of Varanasi, he claimed to have been to a deer park in Sarnath (Benares), India.
