Gautama Buddha
is a prominent religious figure around the world. He—the enlightened one was a
sage who started Buddhism and is known for spreading tranquility and peace. You
can find large Buddha statues not just in India but in the other parts of the
world, too. And no you don’t have to be a Buddhist to appreciate their beauty.
There is a wide
range of Buddha statues available in different poses, made of various
materials, and in varying sizes. The most popular form of Buddha statue is the
one in which Lord Buddha is found seating in a lotus position. You might also
be interested in a Buddha statue that is in a sleeping position for your
bedroom, or a sitting Buddha resting his head on one raised knee for your
meditation area. You can also find Buddha’s head adorned in turquoise and coral
stones and Buddha in a palm. Statues are popularly made out of brass and stone.
There are also
Chinese Buddha statues available. The Chinese Buddha statues has a rounder
appearance and usually has a smiling or laughing face. When shopping for a
Chinese or Indian Buddha statue online, make sure to purchase from a reputable
store that deals directly with local artisans who create each piece by hand. Mass-produced
Buddha statues do not have the same quality as those created by local Indian
artisans.
Always ask the
online seller from where they get their Buddha statues. If you purchase statues
made by locals, you get to help the small-village economies and allow artists
to carry on with their traditional techniques. Some online sellers even donate
part of the proceeds of your purchase to charity. This way, you don’t only buy
a Buddha statue—you also touch the lives of others.
It is important
that the online seller has a secure website so that your payment and shipping
details are protected. Lastly, don’t forget to check if the sellers offer a
return policy for their Buddha statues.
