Hand Crafted Buddhism Stone Sculpture from Indonesia, "Meditating Buddha"

Wayan Kandiyasa honors Buddha with an admirable sandstone sculpture. Born Siddhartha Gautama in Lumbini, modern-day Nepal, it is said that a fortune-teller divined that he would become a teacher of the world. At age 29, Siddhartha left his wealthy family in pursuit of the truth and after six years, he had the religious epiphanies on which Buddhism is based. In short, a wholesome existence guided by the right understanding, the right thinking, the right speech, the right conduct, the right livelihood, the right effort, the right mindfulness, and the right concentration releases one from the painful cycle of life and death.
