Serene Presence of Shakyamuni Buddha Dharma Teacher | Inspires a Deeper Connection to Peace and Enlightenment
Dharma Teacher Shakyamuni Buddha stands 12.6 inches (32 cm) tall with a base width of 8.3 inches (21 cm), which reflects the essence of Shakyamuni Buddha as the Dharma teacher. Each detail, from the peaceful look to the robes, reflects the artisan's passion and expertise, which are based on centuries-old processes. The statue's beauty and spiritual atmosphere are enhanced by its oxidized copper construction and 24K gold gilding.
In the bhumisparsha mudra or earth-touching gesture, the Buddha is shown with his right hand reaching down to touch the ground, signifying the moment of enlightenment when Siddhartha invited the soil to bear witness to his awakening. His calm demeanor radiates compassion, inner serenity, and tranquility with his downcast eyes and soft smile. In Vajrayana (lotus stance), which symbolizes steadiness and persistent concentration during meditation, the figure is seated. Simplicity, disengagement from material cravings, and spiritual purity are reflected in the elaborate details and flowing robes wrapped around the body. This statue serves as a potent reminder of inner serenity and spiritual awakening because of the way its stance, expression, and mudra come together to form a potent symbol of enlightenment.

Siddhartha Gautama was born as the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom and nurtured to be a king in line with his royal father's aspirations. However, when he was around 29 years old, he learned about people's tremendous pain. He abandoned his palace life and gave up his magnificent robes and gold to uncover the reasons for this anguish and the methods to alleviate it. After nearly six years of study, self-deprivation, and severe concentration, he achieved his aim. He had attained enlightenment (a Buddha). He claimed to have then proceeded to a deer park in Sarnath (Benares), India, on the outskirts of Varanasi.
