Seated brass Shakyamuni Buddha in the bhumisparsha, or earth-touching, pose, with a small alms bowl in his upturned left palm. The robe and lotus-petal base are hand-inlaid with a mosaic of turquoise, coral-red, and deep blue stone chips. One hand calls on the earth as witness; the other offers blessing. Set it on a meditation altar, mantle, or shelf.

Meaning & Intention

This is the moment of Buddha's awakening. Seated beneath the Bodhi tree and tested by Mara, Shakyamuni lowered his right hand to the ground to call the earth itself as witness. That gesture — bhumisparsha mudra — is the pose captured here.

In his left hand rests an alms bowl, a symbol of boundless generosity. Where the right hand points to resolve, the left points to giving.

The mosaic covering robe and base draws on a Himalayan tradition of adorning sacred brass with inlaid stone — the same care given a temple shrine.

Placed on an altar or shelf, the statue anchors a room. The earth-touching gesture holds the pose you hope to hold when the day tests you.

Questions & Guidance

Where is a good place to set it?

Anywhere it can be seen from where you sit or walk. Many keep it within sight of a meditation cushion, or on a mantle or bookshelf where its weighted base rests firmly.

Can the alms bowl hold offerings?

The bowl is small and mostly symbolic. Some tuck in a single flower petal, a grain of rice, or a folded intention as part of their practice.

Is this a fitting gift for someone starting meditation?

Yes. The earth-touching pose points to steadiness through distraction, which is much of what a new practitioner is learning to find on the cushion.
