Buddha Statue

Buddha statue has become one of the most popular home decoration and gift choice these years. For me, these are not just for the sake of decorations but because they hold certain meanings and origins as per the teachings of the Buddha. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, people pay more attention to the spiritual sustenance such as inner peace, good luck. These can be brought by buddha statues.

Buddha statue gives peace to the mind, heart and soul. It triggers and reminds one of his or her vows to preserver his or her spiritual practice.  At the same time, Buddha statues purify the mind, builds up the serenity within oneself and motivates to overcome the negative emotions of fear, greed, jealousy and hatred, hence uplifting the mind. Having a Buddha statue in and around the house helps a person to bring out the best possible outcomes in terms of the spiritual journey as well as the positive aura among the ones that are around the statue.

Different Buddha statues have different shapes, sizes, different gestures or mudras and styles of presentation. In this way, different statue has different symbolization.
