This finely sculpted stone Buddha is everything a Buddha composition should be. The Lord has assumed a poorna-padmasana, one of the highest-order dhyanatmaka (meditative) asanas. Perfection in this difficult, broad-based asana is the point of every other asana. In Indian iconography, nobody has it as perfect as the Lord Buddha - the soles of the feet facing the sky, the heels in unison directly beneath the navel, and the knees touching the ground He is seated on.

The mudra of His hands is one of great significance. The dharmachakra mudra is the culmination of all Buddhist teaching. It is a mudra that captures the cycle of dharma and life as we know it, and a rare mudra in that it requires both hands to complete. In this sculpture, one hand is raised to the chest, while the other lies at the juncture of His feet. A composure of samabhava (equanimity) and wisdom distinguish His large, lifelike countenance.

The rest of this handpicked sculpture has all the hallmarks of aesthetic and spiritual superiority. Soft, elongated earlobes, the conch-like serrations at His neck, and the characteristically draped robe. The bitone colour palette is eloquent. The smooth surface of His dusky skin contrasts sharply with the interesting texture of His pristine garment. Placed at a corner of your office or temple, this Lord Buddha statue would exude great calm and bliss.

Embrace Serenity: The Buddha in Dharmachakra Mudra

Invite an aura of profound peace and spiritual awakening into your home or meditation space with this exquisitely crafted stone statue. Depicting the Buddha in the iconic Padmasana (lotus) pose, this piece embodies the essence of enlightenment and the path to inner calm. The serene countenance, with eyes gently closed in contemplation, radiates a tranquil energy that can transform any environment into a sanctuary of peace.

The Sacred Gesture of Teaching

The hands of the Buddha are positioned in the Dharmachakra Mudra, a gesture of profound significance. This mudra, often translated as "wheel of dharma," symbolizes the Buddha's first sermon after achieving enlightenment, where he "turned the wheel of the dharma" and set in motion the teachings of Buddhism. The thumb and index finger of each hand are brought together, forming a circle, representing the unity of wisdom and method, or the ultimate truth. The other fingers extend outwards, symbolizing the spread of these teachings to all beings. This specific mudra is a powerful visual representation of the Buddha's role as a spiritual guide, dispelling ignorance and illuminating the path to liberation.

Crafted for Timeless Beauty

Meticulously sculpted from durable stone, this statue possesses a weight and texture that speaks to its quality and enduring nature. The contrast between the dark, smooth finish of the Buddha's form and the subtly textured, lighter grey of his robe creates a visually captivating piece. The intricate detailing of the robe, with its lifelike folds and drapes, adds a remarkable sense of realism and artistry. Resting on a carved base, the statue is elevated, further enhancing its presence and allowing it to command attention in any setting. This piece is not merely a decorative item; it is a tangible connection to ancient wisdom and a constant reminder of the potential for inner peace and spiritual growth within us all. The Lotus posture itself, Padmasana, is revered in yogic and Buddhist traditions as a pose that aids in deep meditation, promoting balance and grounding, and is symbolic of purity and spiritual awakening, like a lotus emerging unstained from muddy waters.
