Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as the Dharma Guru and Gautama Buddha, is revered as the enlightened teacher who set the Wheel of Dharma in motion. The name Shakyamuni means "Sage of the Shakyas," with "Shakya" referring to his royal clan and "muni" meaning sage or wise one. He is depicted with a serene and calm expression, embodying profound inner peace. His right hand performs the Bhumisparsha Mudra, or "earth-touching gesture," symbolizing the moment of enlightenment when he called the Earth to witness his awakening. In his left hand, he holds an alms bowl, representing detachment from materialism and the sufficiency of a simple life. Seated in the Vajra posture atop a moon disc lotus, he radiates composure and spiritual strength. A radiant halo behind his head signifies the light of enlightenment that dispels ignorance for all beings.

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