These standing Buddha statues are depicted holding alms bowls. In Buddhism, the begging bowl, or alms bowl, is one of the simplest but most important objects in the daily lives of Buddhist monks. It is primarily a practical object, used as a bowl in which to collect alms from lay supporters. The simple begging bowl, has, over time become a symbol of the Buddha's teachings of non-attachment.

Quan Yin (also spelled Kuan Yin, Kwan Yin or Guan Yin), is known as the Goddess of Compassion, and she is one of the most popular deities in all of Asia. Many believe that she is the female representation of Avalokiteshvara the Tibetan and Nepalese God of Compassion. As a Bodhisattva, she has chosen to put off her complete, unexcelled, perfect enlightenment for the benefit of beings everywhere, and will wait as long as there is one being who is not enlightened. This beautiful porcelain statue is depicted standing on the waves of the ocean. She holds a wish stick cradled in her left arm which grants wishes to her devotees. Her features are long and slender with a gentle smile. There is third eye, urna on her forehead with an Amitabha headdress. http://www.dharmasculpture.com/category/porcelain.html

Angkor King Jayavarman VII is depicted with his hair tied in a bun, engaged in deep meditation. Closed eyes, a smile illuminating his face: the serene expression of King Jayavarman evokes compassion. This is the face of a king who felt that the sufferings of his people were his own suffering and who built an extensive network of hospitals to take care of his people. A fervent Mahayana Buddhist, he placed Buddha and Lokeshvara at the top of a pantheon in which Hindu gods were also largely represented. He was king of the Khmer Empire in present day Siem Reap, the capital city of Siem Reap Province in northwestern Cambodia. It is the gateway to the Angkor region.

Lord Buddha wears a monk’s robe, the border of which falls over his left arm. He has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes. His earlobes are stretched long from a youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings. Lord Buddha is seated on a throne decorated with a single row of lotus flowers on the front of the base. The fingers of his right hand are slightly touching the ground, this hand gesture, also known as bhumisparsha mudra represents the subduing of Mara (a demon) who attacked Buddha with violent storms and three seductive daughters. Remaining steadfast, the Buddha testified to his meritorious past by pointing to the earth and calling the Earth Goddess as witness. Rising from the ground the Earth Goddess wrings the water from her long black hair. By doing so, she raises a torrential flood that drowns Mara and his army of demons. The earth touching gesture reflects this story symbolizing enlightenment, as well as steadfastness and the Buddha’s achievement of nirvana. The peaceful countenance of Lord Buddha exudes harmony. The perfect Buddha statue to bring serenity to your home, office or sacred space! This one of a kind statue was hand made by a very talented artist in the beautiful country of Myanmar (Burma). Every piece is truly unique! http://www.dharmasculpture.com/category/burmese-buddha-statues.html

This beautiful pink speckled contemporary Cambodian Buddha statue was recently carved from an antique piece of wood. Lord Buddha has a wonderful serene expression and a faint smile. He is depicted in vitarka mudra. Vitarka mudra is one of the most commonly found mudras or poses. Vitarka Mudra is the mudra or gesture representing the discussion and transmission of Lord Buddha's teachings.

The ushnisha, protuberance above his head also referred to as a topknot, symbolizes His wisdom and openness as an enlightened being. He has elongated earlobes, a vestige of his life as a prince, when he wore extravagant jewelry.

The art of Cambodian wood sculpture goes back to the glorious epoch of the Khmer empire and the monumental constructions that gave rise to the Angkor temples. Our artisans have inherited patience and meticulousness from their ancestors in the trade. They have learned to capture the movements used in olden times and have mastered the use of traditional tools in order adapt to their personal lines of work.

This wood sculpture is a one of a kind statue, hand carved by the very talented artists of the beautiful Kingdom of Cambodia!

Lord Buddha is depicted standing holding an alms bowl. Soon after Shakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment the four great Great Guardian Kings of the four directions each presented him with an alms-bowl, the most beautiful of which was made of precious gems and the simplest from common clay.  Shakyamuni was said to have either chosen the simple clay bowl or to have accepted all four bowls and miraculously convert them into one plain bowl that was sufficient for the needs of a humble mendicant.

This brass Buddha statue is mounted onto a small black wood display base and was made by the very talented artists of the beautiful Kingdom of Cambodia! http://www.dharmasculpture.com/category/brass-buddha-statues.html

These beautiful white marble Buddhas have a serene facial expression. They are carved from a single block of white marble. Both Buddhas are seated on a single lotus throne in "adamantine position" (vajrasana) with the legs crossed and the soles of both feet turned up. One is in dharmachakra mudra (teaching gesture). This was also the hand gesture exhibited by Lord Buddha while preaching his first sermon at Sarnath. While the other is in varada mudra (the gesture of charity or conferring boon or grace). After the Burmese capital was moved to Ava in 1636 during the Second Empire of the Toungoo dynasty (1551-1752), Buddha images were increasingly made of marble with a smooth finish on the surface and minimum decoration, rendering the image with a simple and pure appearance. These marble sculptures are one of a kind, hand carved by the very talented artists of Myanmar (Burma). Every piece is truly unique!

Shakyamuni was said to have either chosen the simple clay bowl or to have accepted all four bowls and miraculously convert them into one plain bowl that was sufficient for the needs of a humble mendicant. The traditional alms bowl of a Buddhist monk or bhikshu is shaped like the inverted head protuberance (Skt. ushnisha) of the Buddha, a symbol of the highest attainment of Buddhahood, as the wisdom that directly realizes emptiness. http://www.dharmasculpture.com/category/new-arrivals.html
