(SKU: LSZ0073744) A Buddha statue is a sacred and symbolic representation of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical figure who founded Buddhism. Typically depicted in a seated meditative posture, the statue embodies the enlightened state attained by the Buddha. It often features serene facial expressions, closed eyes, elongated earlobes, and a topknot symbolizing wisdom. The gesture of the hands, or mudra, varies and holds specific meanings, such as teaching or meditation. Buddha statues serve as focal points for contemplation and veneration, reminding practitioners of the path towards enlightenment. They vary in size, material, and style across Buddhist traditions, with different cultural influences shaping their appearance. The statues, found in temples, monasteries, and homes, evoke a sense of tranquility and inner peace. As objects of devotion, they invite individuals to reflect on the Buddha's teachings and the potential for spiritual growth.
