Embrace Enlightenment with this Buddha Shakyamuni Golden Sacred Statue
This Shakyamuni Buddha statue, standing 12.2” (31cm) tall with a base of 8.66” (22cm) and weighing 2.98 kg, depicts the "Sage of the Shakya Clan" in a moment of serene enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree. Crafted from a copper body, the statue is adorned with rich 24K gold gilding, gold, and acrylic paintings, offering a peaceful presence that captures the essence of spiritual awakening and tranquility.
He represents purity and spiritual awakening in the Vajra posture (Padmasana) on a lotus base. His right hand is extended toward the earth in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, inviting the world to witness his enlightenment. His left hand holds an alms bowl in his lap, symbolising renunciation. The ushnisha atop his head signifies wisdom, and the spiral curls covering his head are said to represent the snails that protected him from the scorching sun during his meditation—an emblem of selfless devotion and nature’s reverence. His serene face reflects inner peace and deep meditation.

Siddhartha Gautama, revered as Shakyamuni Buddha, is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born a prince in ancient Lumbini, within present-day Nepal, he embarked on a profound spiritual quest, renouncing his comfortable royal life. After years of rigorous asceticism and deep meditation, he attained complete enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India. He subsequently dedicated the remainder of his long life to compassionately teaching the Dharma, the profound path to liberation from suffering and the cycle of rebirth. His timeless teachings continue to form the fundamental core of all Buddhist traditions globally.
