Buddha statues and where to get them

Buddhism, one of the biggest religions in the world, is based on the principles and the teachings of the Buddha. A prince turned spiritual leader, he helped spread the truth about life and taught people about gaining eternal happiness and peace. Though the Buddha did not claim to be a god, he was revered and is still revered by many people as a deity. Therefore, even thought idol worshipping is not Buddhism's true self, people to take Buddha statues as the symbol of the Buddha himself.

Historically speaking, there are almost none evidence about Buddha's physical appearance and characteristics as the Buddhist iconography started only after almost two centuries of the Buddha's nirvana. But the Buddha statues and Buddha images are based upon the spiritual texts describing how he looked and how the features of his body explained the spiritual guidance for the followers. This may be the reason for the followers of Buddhism to worship the Buddha statue, which does not mean that they worship regarding him as a god but as a leader who can lead them to the path of enlightenment. Hence, we can say that the Buddha statues are taken more as an object of inspiration rather than a religious object.

From the facial structure, the poses, the position of the limbs to the head, ear, eyes, and nose, each of them have their own hidden meaning from spiritual point of view. With each statue, the style may be varied resulting into varied meaning of the Buddha statues. Moreover, Buddha statues also act as a great source of inspiration for meditation enthusiasts as Buddha himself attained enlightenment by practicing meditation. The Buddha statues provide the feeling of serenity and peace.

These statues also act as a great decorative peace for your home or office. It is also believed that having a statue in your house or work may provide prosperity to you and your loved ones.
