24K Gold Shakyamuni Buddha | Spiritual Awakening Buddha Meditation
This stunning 24K gold-gilded statue of Shakyamuni Buddha stands at 12.6” (32 cm) in height with a base measuring 7.9” (20 cm), and weighs 2.81 kg. Crafted with a copper body and adorned with gold, silver plating, and intricate acrylic paintings, this masterpiece captures the essence of the historical Buddha at the moment of his enlightenment. Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, is depicted here seated in the lotus (vajra) posture, with his right hand in the bhumisparsha mudra, symbolizing his call to the Earth to witness his awakening under the Bodhi tree. The left hand holds a begging bowl, reflecting his renunciation of worldly desires and the simplicity of monastic life.
The statue's intricate meaning is incredibly detailed. Shakyamuni's calm demeanor and tranquil grin symbolize his enlightenment, while the urna (dot on his forehead) represents spiritual knowledge. The usnisha, or topknot, depicts his wisdom, while his curly hair reflects his rejection of worldly life. The Buddha appears in a slight monastic garment that is elaborately constructed to emphasize both his humble and his grandeur. This statue, seated on a lotus throne, represents purity and detachment from worldly sorrow, and serves as a reminder of the Buddha's path to enlightenment and his eternal teachings.
