Standing Buddha - An Antique Masterpeice in Brass Sculpture

Buddha, popular as the Enlightened one, was the philosopher, spiritual teacher, meditator, protector, mentor, and the founder of Buddhism on earth. He is the one who was not born as a god but as an ordinary person, named Siddhartha. He got his name owing to his several years of meditation and a life of asceticism which eventually awakened him. His entire life story is the store flooded with many inspiring events that became part of his journey toward renunciation. According to history, Buddha was born into a Sakya clan somewhere in North India, Lumbini towards the southern borders of Nepal. He spent his childhood in Kapilavastu. Buddha was born to Suddhodana and Maya and was initially named Siddhartha Gautam. Suddhodana was the king of the local Sakya tribe whereas Siddhartha was the prince surrounded by all materialistic pleasures of life. At the age of sixteen Buddha was married to Yasodhara, who gave birth to his son named Rahul. His first encounter with misery was at the age of 29 when he went out of the palace in his chariot. Four events took place which transformed the life of Siddhartha. He saw old age, a diseased body, a corpse, and an ascetic. This was the time when his journey as Buddha began and he left the palace in search of a solution to all miseries. After attaining Enlightenment Buddha started preaching to others and spreading spiritual knowledge. His images as an ascetic sitting under the Bodhi Tree with different postures of hands like a blessing, teaching, and touching the earth are very common as a symbol of peace and purity.
