Mini Shakyamuni Buddha Statue

About Our Statue

The complete copper body of the small Shakyamuni Buddha Home Sculpture was carved using a machine. We used acrylic paintings to highlight the facial expression of the deity. The face has been gilded with genuine 24K gold. The rest of the body has a tint of oxidized copper body. Gautama Buddha is depicted sitting on a moon disc lotus seat, carrying an alms bowl with his left hand and making the mudra of earth-touching with his right hand.

Introduction to Shakyamuni Buddha

Siddhartha Gautama was born as the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom and nurtured to be a king in line with his royal father's aspirations. However, when he was around 29 years old, he learned about people's tremendous pain. He abandoned his palace life and gave up his magnificent robes and gold to uncover the reasons for this anguish and the methods to alleviate it. After nearly six years of study, self-deprivation, and severe concentration, he achieved his aim. He had attained enlightenment (a Buddha). He claimed to have then proceeded to a deer park in Sarnath (Benares), India, on the outskirts of Varanasi.

How do you take care of your statues?

Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching with the bare hand objects can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
