Shakyamuni Buddha: Brief Introduction

The Sanskrit term ‘Buddha’ signifies the ‘awakened one’ or ‘supreme awareness’, directly associated with enlightenment (Bodhi). Gautama Shakyamuni, born in 563 BCE in Lumbini, Nepal, symbolizes compassion, mindfulness, and higher consciousness.

His teachings focus on the role of desire in perpetuating human suffering. Across faiths like Hinduism and Jainism, his philosophy reveals how greed, selfishness, and attachment hinder spiritual growth and sustain pain among those facing hunger, illness, and poverty. Shakyamuni Buddha’s tranquil image advocates for inner enlightenment as the true path to overcoming worldly challenges and suffering.

Gold-Plated Finish with Painted Face and Antique Detailing

This statue boasts a timeless antique finish, achieved through expert craftsmanship:

• Gold-plated surface, adding a divine and lustrous appeal.
• Hand-painted face, emphasizing the expressive eyes and lips, enhancing the statue’s sacred and lifelike presence.

This finishing ensures the statue resonates with a sense of elegance and serenity, making it a perfect centerpiece for sacred spaces.

Crafted Using the Lost-Wax System

The lost-wax casting method, an ancient and revered technique, ensures exceptional detail and quality:

1. A wax model is intricately sculpted, capturing every fine detail.
2. The model is coated in layers of ceramic material to create a durable mold.
3. The wax is melted out, leaving a cavity in the mold.
4. Molten copper is poured into the cavity, replicating the wax design.
5. Once cooled, the ceramic mold is removed, revealing the finished sculpture.

This meticulous process results in an exquisite piece that reflects the highest level of craftsmanship.
