"This sculpture represents the way to keep forgiving each other, loving each other, and to be at peace with yourself, because we are all brothers," explains Balinese artisan Wayan Rendah, conveying this vision in his superbly hand-carved relief panel.
"I is inspired by the turmoil of the world, which is completely uncertain, which causes unrest and difficulties for all countries, Where each party shows a high sense of ego and feels the most right, without realizing it.
"We are all brothers and sisters in this world. There should be no such thing as enmity. In the Hindu sloka verses, the Wedadikatan Sloka — "Wasumdhwam Kutumbhaka" — means let's sit together and shake hands looking for a way to an agreement to achieve world peace."
The artist continues, "The way to make peace for the common good in society and the world is to mediate, to sit down together to find the best solution for problems, and to solve them for the sake of mutual peace and the world. My hope is that all people can respect each other to avoid hostility and injustice in life and society.
"We must forgive and love one another in order to achieve peace. We are all brothers and sisters in this world where there should be no such thing as hatred.
"Love and peace are powerful concepts that inevitably go hand in hand, because one does not exist without the other."

This beautifully handcrafted wooden bowl brings me such comfort and joy. I m so glad I got it. I was telling my husband a story about being held by peaceful loving hands during a time when I needed nurturing and care. Then a few days later I saw this incredible bowl offered by Novica and I knew I needed it for our home. Thank you.

Received the Blissful Buddha sculpture today and Im happy with it! Good wood work - smooth and even stain all around. Detailing of the Buddhas face by the artist is great!. Makes me want to smile too!! Size, weight, and proportionality is also good.
