Description   Gautama Buddha was born in 563 B.C. in northeast India. The Buddha was the son of the King of the Sakyas. Suddhodana, who ruled at Kapilavastu, on the border of Nepal. His mother was Queen Maya. He was named Siddartha. He lived amidst the pleasures of palace life and at age 16 he was married to Princess Yasodhara. They had a son named Rahula. After seeing a decrepid old man, an invalid, and an ascetic beggar, he learned of suffering and decided to embrace asceticism. Soon afterwards, at age 29, Siddhartha left the palace and his family and went to a hermitage where he became monk Guatama, or, as he is still called, Sakyamuni (The ascetic of the Sakyas). One day, meditating under a sacred fig tee, he attained perfect illumination (Bodhi). He had become a Buddha. From there on he traveled and preached for 44 years what was to become one of the main religions of the world. He died at Kusinagara at age 80. Here Buddha is represented in the Boon-giving (whish giving) pose with the palm of his right hand facing out to grant Boon to a devotee. This hand position is known as varada mudra. He is also known as one of the five Celestial Buddhas.   Features Category: Oriental and Buddhist Art > Bonded Stone Buddhist Statues > Description:Buddha in wish giving mudra Item: O-123GR Size: 8.5 x 5 x4.5 Statue bonded Stone Related Products...
