Fasting Buddha Shakyamuni Statue
The 11" Fasting Shakyamuni Buddha Statue from Yuna Handicrafts is a striking and meaningful representation of one of the most significant moments in the Buddha’s life: his period of extreme asceticism before achieving enlightenment. This statue depicts the Buddha during his six years of fasting and self-denial, symbolizing the ultimate dedication to the spiritual path. Unlike traditional Buddha statues, which often showcase a serene and well-nourished figure, this unique portrayal of the fasting Buddha is emaciated, with his ribs and bones visible, embodying the intense sacrifices he made in search of truth and enlightenment.
Handcrafted by master artisans in Nepal, this statue is a masterpiece of detailed craftsmanship. Every aspect, from the delicate features on the Buddha’s face to the intricate folds of his emaciated body, is meticulously carved to highlight the serenity and resolve of the Buddha in meditation. Despite the physical suffering depicted, the statue captures an overwhelming sense of peace, symbolizing the Buddha’s inner strength and unwavering commitment to his spiritual journey. The attention to detail reflects the skill and devotion of the artisans, ensuring that this statue is not only a symbol of spiritual discipline but also a stunning piece of art.
Made from high-quality materials, this 11-inch statue is durable and intricately finished, designed to be a centerpiece in any home, meditation space, or altar. The Fasting Shakyamuni Buddha represents the middle path that the Buddha ultimately discovered after his period of self-denial, leading to his enlightenment. For those on their own spiritual journey, this statue serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of balance, perseverance, and dedication in the pursuit of higher wisdom and inner peace.
Beyond its spiritual significance, this statue is a tribute to the skill of Nepalese artisans and the rich tradition of Buddhist art. By choosing this piece, you are not only bringing a symbol of profound spiritual meaning into your home, but you are also supporting ethical craftsmanship and helping to sustain traditional artisan communities in Nepal. Whether used for personal reflection, meditation, or simply as a beautiful piece of decor, the 11" Fasting Shakyamuni Buddha Statue is a timeless reminder of the strength and focus needed to achieve true enlightenment.
This is a handmade 11" Fasting Shakyamuni Buddha Statue made from Bronze.
Before Shakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment, he underwent a long fast rendering him very weak and thin. The fasting or hungry Buddha statue represents the same state.
