Shakyamuni Buddha Bodhi Enlightenment Statue - A Serene Beacon of Peace
This Shakyamuni Buddha Bodhi Enlightenment Statue is a finely crafted representation of the historical Buddha at the moment of his awakening beneath the Bodhi tree. Measuring 9.3”/23.5cm in height with a 7.7”/19.5cm base and weighing 1.71 kg, the sculpture is fashioned from a copper body and finished with 24K gold gilding and detailed acrylic painting. The radiant gilded surface highlights the carefully modeled figure, monastic robes, facial features, and lotus pedestal, while acrylic painting provides definition to the dark curled hair, eyes, eyebrows, lips, and other fine details. The engraved patterns along the robe and layered lotus pedestal further emphasize the careful workmanship and traditional Himalayan sculptural craftsmanship.
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted seated in the full lotus posture upon a lotus pedestal, representing the profound stillness and unwavering concentration of his meditation beneath the Bodhi tree. His serene face bears the traditional marks of an awakened Buddha, including the urna between the eyebrows, elongated earlobes, and ushnisha above the head, while his short, tightly curled hair reflects his renunciant appearance. His right hand extends downward with the fingertips touching the ground in Bhumisparsha Mudra, the earth-touching gesture that recalls the moment of his enlightenment when he called the earth to witness his awakening and victory over the forces of delusion. His left hand rests in his lap in Dhyana Mudra, forming the meditative gesture associated with deep concentration and inner realization. He wears simple monastic robes that fall naturally around his body and legs, distinguishing him from the ornamented forms of bodhisattvas. The peaceful expression, earth-touching gesture, meditation posture, monastic robes, and lotus seat together define Shakyamuni Buddha in his Bodhi Enlightenment form, representing awakening, wisdom, liberation, and the realization of the path beyond suffering.
