Who is Sakyamuni Buddha?

Sakyamuni Buddha, born Prince Siddhartha Gautama, renounced his royal life to seek truth and enlightenment. After years of spiritual practice, he attained perfect awakening beneath the Bodhi tree, becoming the Buddha—the "Awakened One." His teachings on compassion, wisdom, and liberation continue illuminating humanity's path to freedom from suffering.

Magnificent Iconographic Features

This regal statue portrays Sakyamuni Buddha seated in padmasana (lotus posture), radiating serene majesty. His peaceful countenance, with delicately painted features and half-closed contemplative eyes, expresses boundless compassion and profound wisdom. The distinctive deep blue hair cascades in tight curls, crowned by the ushnisha symbolizing supreme enlightenment. His right hand extends in bhumisparsha mudra (earth-touching gesture), while his left cradles an alms bowl in dhyana mudra. The elaborate gemstone-encrusted robes drape elegantly across his form.

Sacred Symbolism and Meaning

Sakyamuni Buddha embodies humanity's potential for complete spiritual awakening. His earth-touching gesture represents his triumphant moment of enlightenment, calling the earth to witness his victory over ignorance. The golden body symbolizes purified wisdom, while the vibrant gemstones represent the precious nature of dharma teachings.

Sanskrit and Buddhist Wisdom

"Sakyamuni" translates as "Sage of the Sakya Clan" in Sanskrit. His profound teaching states: "Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame."

Sacred Mantra

“Om Muni Muni Maha Muniye Soha”

Meaning "Homage to the Sage, Great Sage of the Sakya Clan," this powerful mantra channels Sakyamuni Buddha's enlightened blessings, purifying obstacles and awakening innate wisdom within all practitioners.
