The Peaceful Presence of Gautama Buddha | Founder of Buddhism
The peaceful presence of Gautama Buddha is crafted from an oxidized copper body and delicately silver-plated, giving it a timeless and reverent appearance. Measuring 17.7”/45cm in height and 12.6”/32cm in base width, it weighs 7.88 kg. The statue portrays the historical Buddha in serene meditation, radiating peace and enlightenment. Ideal for personal shrines, spiritual spaces, or as a meaningful gift, this piece embodies the profound teachings and presence of Shakyamuni Buddha, handcrafted with traditional Nepali artistry.
The Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted seated on a lotus base, symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening. His right hand performs the bhumisparsha mudra, or earth-touching gesture, representing the moment of his enlightenment when he called the earth to witness his awakening. The left hand holds an alms bowl, signifying renunciation and the monastic life. His calm face is crowned with an ushnisha, a cranial protuberance symbolizing supreme wisdom, often associated with the legend of snails that protected his head from the sun during meditation.

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.
