Crowned Shakyamuni Buddha Statue Features:

A clear sign that a statue is a depiction of Shakyamuni is the Bhumisparsha “earth touching” mudra. This mudra is depicted with the right hand draped over the right knee. Additionally, the hand is flat with the palm facing inwards and fingers together. Also, the fingers are pointed towards the ground to call the Earth Goddess to witness the vanquishing of Mara. 

Our Shakyamuni Buddha statue is also depicted displaying the Dhyana “meditation” mudra. Additionally, the alms bowl is resting in the palm of his left hand. This bowl signifies the rejection of the material world and it is replaced with virtue. Additionally, the alms bowl is believed to hold the 3 nectars to cure the 3 poisons – ignorance, attachment and hatred. Click here to learn more about Shakyamuni Buddha.
