Shakyamuni Buddha is traditionally depicted with an ushnisha, the rounded bump on his head that signifies his profound spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. A well-known legend tells of snails that gathered on his head while he meditated, shielding him from the sun and demonstrating nature’s reverence for his spiritual dedication. In his left hand, he holds an alms bowl, representing a life rooted in simplicity, humility, and dependence on the kindness of others. His right hand performs the bhumisparsha mudra, or “earth-touching” gesture, symbolizing the moment he called upon the earth to witness his enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree. Seated in the stable vajra posture on a lotus base shaped like a moon disc—an emblem of purity and awakening—he is draped in a modest monastic robe that reflects his renunciation and compassion. As the founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni Buddha embodies the core values of spiritual awakening, humility, and universal compassion.

Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher and the founder of Buddhism who lived in the 5th to 6th century BCE. Born a prince in the Shakya clan, he renounced his royal life in search of a solution to human suffering after witnessing old age, sickness, and death. Through deep meditation and self-inquiry, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha, meaning “The Awakened One.” He taught the Four Noble Truths: that life involves suffering (duḥkha), suffering has a cause (craving or attachment), it can end (nirvāṇa), and there is a path to its end. This path is the Noble Eightfold Path, which includes right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration. The teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha form the foundation of Buddhism, guiding countless individuals on their spiritual journey toward wisdom (prajñā), ethical living, and inner peace.
