Handcrafted Buddha Shakyamuni Statue: The Enlightened Teacher
The Buddha Shakyamuni statue, measuring about 10.8 inches tall and 8.1 inches wide at the base, weighing 3.14 kg, is crafted from oxidized copper. It is created by skilled artisans who continue the tradition of finely detailed and timeless craftsmanship. This statue embodies peace, wisdom, and the spirit of the Buddha’s teachings, serving as an inspiring presence for meditation and reflection without emphasizing specific symbolic gestures or attributes.
Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, is represented in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, with his right hand softly touching the ground, inviting it to witness his waking. This stance represents unshakable commitment and the moment of enlightenment underneath the Bodhi tree. His peaceful, kind look lulls you into silence, while the full-lotus stance and intricate double-lotus foundation highlight spiritual stability. The statue's towering height and weight make it suitable for shrines, temple sanctuaries, or houses dedicated to profound meditation and contemplation.

Shakyamuni Buddha renounced his royal life to pursue a more profound truth that transcended material pleasures and suffering. He was born Prince Siddhartha of the Shakya clan. After years of rigorous asceticism and meditation, he became enlightened under the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha—the Awakened One. He then dedicated his life to teaching the Eightfold Path and the Four Noble Truths to attain liberation. Shakyamuni Buddha stands for the potential for all beings to awaken. He embodies wisdom that leads to ultimate freedom, the victory over ignorance, and the tranquility of non-attachment. His presence is a timeless reminder of the transformative power of inner realization, compassion, and mindfulness.
