A seated Shakyamuni Buddha cast in solid brass, his right hand reaching down in the earth-touching gesture and his left resting open in his lap. The robe is hand-inlaid with a mosaic of turquoise and coral-red chips, a nod to Himalayan metalwork. Place it on an altar, a meditation corner, or a shelf where the eye can return to it.

Meaning & Intention

This statue shows Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha, in bhumisparsha mudra — the earth-touching gesture he made beneath the Bodhi tree at the moment of his enlightenment. Reaching down, he called the earth to witness his awakening and his resolve in the face of doubt.

It is one of the most revered mudras in Buddhist art, symbolizing steadfastness, truth, and the moment ignorance gave way to clarity.

The turquoise and coral mosaic on the robe follows a long tradition of Himalayan and Nepali metalwork, where semi-precious stone inlay honors sacred figures. Turquoise is associated with protection and wholeness; coral with vitality and grounded strength.

Kept in the home, an image of Buddha has long been a way of inviting his qualities — patience, compassion, presence — into daily life, and this pose ties that invitation to the very moment of awakening.

Questions & Guidance

Where should I place this statue?

An altar, meditation nook, or bookshelf works well. Choose a spot at or near eye level where the gaze can meet yours and the light catches the mosaic.

Is it heavy or delicate?

It weighs about 4.5 pounds, so it sits firmly on a shelf. The mosaic is hand-set, so avoid knocks and lift it from the base rather than the robe.

Would this suit someone new to a meditation practice?

Yes. The earth-touching pose is a helpful anchor — a visible cue to sit down, settle the breath, and begin, without needing any prior ritual knowledge.
