Beautiful stone Buddha statue handcarved in the Himalayas
Approximately 3 1/4" high, carved from a colorful type
of marble in northern India.
The Buddha displays the dhyana mudra, or meditation gesture, also called "samadhi" or "yoga" pose.
This is the posture of meditation, of concentration (samadhi) on the
Dharma, and of the attainment of spiritual perfection, or bodhi,
"awakening".
The Buddha's gaze is serene, sitting in lotus postion. The
gesture is formed by placing the right hand over the palm of the left
hand, with tips of both thumbs touching lightly, hands rest in the lap,
palms facing up. The right hand represents enlightenment while the left
hand represents samsara, the world of illusions. This mudra symbolizes
the triumph of enlightenment over the world of illusions.
This will be a beautiful addition to your home, bringing serenity to any space. If you practice meditation or Yoga, it will provide constant inspiration to you to seek the still, quiet place inside you.
