Meditating Buddha Statue

Description

This Meditating Buddha Statue is serene and beautifully made, perfect for altar, desk, or shelf. The Buddha sits on a lotus pedestal, hands resting one atop the other in his lap and holding a
small offering cup. This gesture is the dhyana mudra, the mudra of meditation.

The dhyana mudra represents the Buddha’s absorption in deep concentration — the stillness of a mind fully settled. The Buddha’s eyes are lowered and his expression is calm and tranquil, inviting the same quality of attention in those who look on him.

The statue is finished in warm antique bronze, with subtle tones glowing through the folds of the robe. The fine detail of the curled hair, the draped robe, and the lotus base reflect true
craftsmanship.

FAQs

What is cold-cast bronze?
Cold-cast bronze is made by mixing real bronze powder with resin and casting it in a mold. The surface is genuine bronze, giving the weight, warmth, and fine detail of traditional metal casting
at a more accessible price.

What is the meaning of the hand gesture?
The Buddha’s hands form the dhyana mudra, the gesture of meditation. The hands rest in the lap, right over left with palms facing upward, often holding an alms bowl as this one does. It
symbolizes deep concentration and the settled, peaceful mind cultivated in meditation practice.

How is this different from our Shakyamuni Buddha statue?
Both are cold-cast bronze Buddhas on lotus pedestals. The Shakyamuni Buddha has a colorful burgundy-and-green robe and a decorative halo, with his hand in the earth-touching mudra.
The Meditating Buddha has a warm monochrome bronze finish, no halo, and hands resting in the lap in the meditation mudra. It’s a quieter, more understated piece.

Where will this statue look best?
It’s well suited to an altar, shrine, meditation space, desk, or shelf. At just under 10 inches tall it’s a substantial presence without being oversized.

Is this statue suitable as a gift?
Yes, very much so. Its peaceful expression and warm bronze finish make it a meaningful gift for anyone with a meditation practice or an appreciation for Buddhist art.
