Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as the Sage of the Shakya Clan, was born as Siddhartha Gautama into the Shakya clan in present-day Nepal. Renouncing his royal life after encountering the suffering of old age, sickness, and death, he sought enlightenment and attained Buddhahood under the Bodhi tree. The title Shakyamuni combines his clan’s name with Muni, meaning "sage." Shakyamuni Buddha is seated on a moon disc lotus throne, symbolizing spiritual purity and enlightenment. His right hand often forms the Bhumisparsha Mudra, the earth-touching gesture, signifying his enlightenment and victory over Mara. His left hand may hold the alms bowl, representing his life as a monk reliant on the generosity of others also signifying materialistic detachment and adequacy. He is seated in the Vajra posture, which symbolizes stability and deep concentration. His serene facial expression reflects wisdom, peace, and compassion. Through these symbolic elements, Shakyamuni Buddha embodies the path to enlightenment and serves as a compassionate guide for all beings.
