Buddha Statues…
The figures and statues of Lord Buddha we see all around us are the sculptures of Shakyamuni Siddhartha Gautama the "Buddha" who was born in Kapilavastu, an ancient province of Nepal, as the son of king Suddhodana and Queen Maya Devi. The Queen had few auspicious dreams before the God entered her womb from the Tushita paradise.
As Siddhartha Gautama came to the age 28 he refrained from the kingdom and lived the life of a mendicant. He sought and achieved enlightenment in six years under a pipala tree and became a Buddha, in Bodhgaya. After enlightenment he expressed this verse:
"Through many births I have passed the builder of the house of pain is gone and I am free from any more births"
Shakyamuni Gautama advocated dharma through out his life and the light of the world had gone out and master passed away into Nirvana at an old age of over 80.
Talking of Buddha statues & figurines, the idols of Buddha are found in a wide form of poses the most common of all the type is the sitting Buddha statue in a lotus position. The pose displays inner and outer balance and tranquility. In meditating Buddha figurine the posture of the hand or the mudra, have the fingers of the right hand resting lightly on the left as they lay in the enlightened one's lap and legs are crossed in a Lotus position. Many Buddha carvings sit on a pedestal in a lotus blossom which depict the enlightened being or emptiness.
Another pose is the Abhaya mudra in which the right hand is raised and is the gesture of dispelling fear. Statuettes calling the earth to bear witness are depicted by postures where the right hand is touching the earth below, which displays total belief. And, finally the reclining Buddha figurine depicts Buddha's passage into death or Nirvana, as the disciples, angles and gods bade farewell to never returner Shakyamuni Siddhartha Gautama Buddha. Medicine Buddha figurine stands for the belief that Buddha parted knowledge on medicine along with spiritual guidance.
The Mudras or postures of hands of the Shakyamuni Buddha statuettes are either in abhaya (Fearlessness), Dhyana (meditation), Dharmachakra Parivartana (turning of the wheel of Dharma or doctrine or religion) and Bhumisparsa (calling the earth goddess to witness the touching of the earth by the right hand)
Buddha statuettes are handmade and thus they are artisan's labour of Love, or a loving heart and moving hands giving them shapes in absolute postures. The earliest representations of Buddha were mounds erected on the relics of Buddha, also known as "Stupa." The external decorations on the stupas display the entire life of the Buddha from leaving home to enlightenment and to Mahaparinirvana.
The largest and tallest Buddha statuettes were found in Afghanistan which were colossal in size and have been much recently destroyed by the Taliban's. The statuettes of Buddha in Nepal are generally made out of gold, granite, bronze, copper, brass, resin, silver, ceramic, wood, etc. And, they are put on sale in a fine work of display in Thamel and Durbar Square in the ancient town of Kathmandu in Nepal or sold in diverse online Buddha Statues store like himalayacrafts.com in wholesale or retail. The standing Buddha statuettes with flowering robes is also common. And Buddha heads and hands are also found for sale.
