According to mythology, Shakyamuni was born Siddhartha, heir to a kingdom in the Himalayan foothills. Siddhartha gave up his privileged status and the material prosperity that came when he was still a relatively young man. However, after several years as an acetic, he concluded that striving to conquer human sorrow and desire via self-denial and willpower was a pointless effort. He sat down behind a tree at the time and concentrated till he reached enlightenment. The sculpture alludes to this particular point in the Buddha's life.
