Serene Shakyamuni Buddha Statue of Enlightenment | Inner Peace, Wisdom, and Liberation
Shakyamuni Buddha Statue of Enlightenment sculpture, gilded in triple layer 24K gold, with deeply engraved 3D-like carving, and intricate acrylic & gold paintings, is a work of art and a vessel of profound philosophical importance. Each detail, from the soft drape of the robes to the serene look of meditative repose, is created with the highest care onto a solid copper body. This piece is a fitting tribute to those on the spiritual path, seeking a deeper connection with their practice and a reminder of the serenity that mindfulness can bring.
Shakyamuni Buddha's posture and mudra represent his teachings and route to enlightenment, making this statue a potent emblem of spiritual growth and peace. 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. The art may vary from traditional Tibetan thangka designs to minimalist or modern depictions.

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.
