Description

Peaceful Sitting Buddha for Altar & Zen Spaces | Teacher of Four Noble Truths

This Shakyamuni Buddha statue captures the exact moment of his awakening beneath the Bodhi tree. His right hand reaches down to call the earth as witness while his left hand holds a monk's alms bowl in his lap, a gesture that has anchored Buddhist iconography for centuries. Set upon a lotus throne, his gold painted face and elongated earlobes give him an expression of deep stillness. As the teacher who first shared the Four Noble Truths, he makes a natural focal point for any altar or meditation corner.

Newari artisans in Nepal shape every details by hand using the age-old lost wax casting method, working in solid copper before applying fire-gilded gold that keeps its shine for generations. Look closely and the robe reveals raised repoussé scrollwork and floral carving where each line is pressed and chased by hand rather than machine. The lotus seat beneath him reflects a craft passed down through generations of Nepali metalworkers.

Place this peaceful sitting Buddha in a meditation room or home shrine and it becomes more than décor since it carries a quiet reminder of clarity and presence. Whether kept as a personal devotional piece or offered as a gift to someone on their own practice, it brings the calm authority of the Buddha into everyday life.

Please note: The statue in the photograph is the actual piece for sale, ensuring authenticity and exclusivity.

About Shakyamuni Buddha

Shakyamuni Buddha, revered as the "Awakened One of the Shakya Clan," is the historical Buddha and founder of Buddhism who embodies perfect enlightenment through wisdom, compassion, and self-realization. According to sacred texts, he attained enlightenment beneath the Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya and dedicated his life to teaching the path that leads all beings beyond suffering. His golden form symbolizes the radiance of awakened wisdom that illuminates the true nature of reality. His teachings manifest through the sacred mantra "Om Muni Muni Maha Munaye Soha", which devotees chant to cultivate inner peace, develop wisdom, and awaken their innate Buddha-nature.
