Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical Buddha whose teachings laid the foundation for Buddhism. His path to enlightenment, achieved through meditation and mindfulness, represents the possibility of overcoming suffering and achieving spiritual awakening. The image of Shakyamuni Buddha seated in meditation, with his right hand in the bhumi sparsha mudra (earth-touching gesture), symbolizes his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, calling upon the Earth to bear witness to his spiritual triumph.
