Statue of Enlightened Crown Shakyamuni Buddha | Dharma Protector
Enlightenment Deity Crown Shakyamuni Buddha stands 18.9 inches (48 cm) tall with a base measuring 12.2 inches (31 cm), and weighs a substantial 7.96 kilograms, offering a strong and dignified presence. Crafted from a solid copper body, it is richly gilded with 24K gold, giving it a radiant and sacred glow. The intricate gold and acrylic paintings beautifully highlight the detailed features and traditional motifs, while the carefully inlaid gemstones add vibrant color and spiritual significance.
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted wearing an elaborate five-pointed crown and wide necklaces adorned with numerous gemstones, reflecting his royal symbolism and spiritual authority. The five points of the crown represent the Five Dhyani Buddhas—Vairocana, Akshobhya, Ratnasambhava, Amitabha, and Amoghasiddhi—each embodying a unique aspect of enlightened wisdom. Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted sitting in the lotus pose (padmasana), indicating his steady concentration and mastery over the distractions of the material world. His right hand stretched toward the earth in the bhumisparsha mudra, representing his moment of enlightenment, as he invited the earth to witness his awakening. The left hand, lying gently in his lap in dhyana mudra holding an alms bowl, depicts the profound state of meditation and mindfulness that leads to insight and clarity.

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.
