Product Description

Buddha means "Awakened one" or "Enlightened one. Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, in Sanskrit, or Siddhattha Gotama, in Pali, was a spiritual teacher from ancient India and the founder of Buddhism. The Buddha image portrays the traditional figure of the meditative Yogin, transcendent in his mental powers yet very much a part of this world. Many a time, he is surrounded by images of radiance and abundance, the sun disc and the trees, and supported by lions, emblems of his royal position. While his placement atop a lion throne, and the presence of two attendants holding chowries, serve to emphasize his regal position, at the same time, his Yogic posture, humble robe and gestures of reassurance embody the spiritual nature of his message. This image remained the primary source for subsequent figures of Buddha through Asia. One of the consistencies of Buddhist art in India was the retention of this essentially human image, even when it was surrounded by an array of figures and images of wealth and abundance.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful thing to have, June 5, 2008

This review is from: Feng Shui Brass Standing Buddha Brass Figurines (Kitchen)

This tiny statue of a chubby Chinese traveller is a caricature of its own self, with a large round upper body that dwarfs the small legs under it. He is laughing as he carries his things in a big sack, as large as his torso, on his back, and wears a large necklace with a pendant that comes right down to his navel. It is an especially detailed object, for something that is so small. There are markings even on the pendant that he is wearing, and the folds of his cloth have also been emphasized. A wonderful thing to have.
