A Quick Introduction of Buddha Statue

Who doesn’t know Buddha? Born in the Lumbini province of Nepal, Buddha was an enlightened individual who gave birth to a religion called Buddhism around 500 million years ago. Many people also believe that Buddha is an incarnation of the Hindu deity Vishnu. Sitting under a fig tree, he awakened into enlightenment.

Many famous personalities as well as great men have turned into Buddhist monks, dedicating their lives to practicing the teachings of Buddha

Carving of Buddha’s Statues

Amidst all this, it is believed that just by having a carving of Buddha’s statue in a place can turn around the energy of the place. In lieu of this, there have been thousands of Buddha statues constructed throughout the world including regions of Afghanistan, Sarnath, China, Bhutan, Laos, South East Asia etc. 

The tallest statue of Buddha in the world today is situated in Pattaya region of Thailand. Other famous carvings of Buddha include the Tian Tan Buddha sculpted in bronze in Hong Kong, the yellow golden Monywa Buddha located on Myanmar’s hilltops, the Reclining Buddha of Thailand, and many, many more. 

A Huge Variety of Decorative Buddha Statues Online & Offline

Also, these days, you’ll find plenty of stores selling oodles of kinds of Buddha statues online. From brass to bronze, from silver to marble, from clay to granite, several materials are being used to carve the Buddhist figurines and silhouettes.

In fact, the poses and postures of Buddha make a great inspiration for artists, painters and craftsmen alike to create their next piece.

Using A Buddha Statue for Home Decoration

The placement of Buddha statues, representations or decorations in a home is said to have great benefits as also confirmed by the science of Feng Shui & Vaastu. It is said that placing a Buddha statue in a house offers the home with a positive energy as well as a serene ambience to stay and relax.

It is also said that a Buddha statue placed facing the entrance doorway of a place can waive off the negative energy from the home, thus, keeping the home space blooming with peace and happiness.

Apart from this, the statue or sculptures of Buddha are said to imbibe a soothing yet concentrated mood to the surroundings, hence making a wonderful addition to one’s office desk, study table or bedside shelf.

There are several ways you can bring a Buddha decoration in your home, office or space. As an example, here are some of the common ways.

Seated Buddha Surrounded by Candles

Using a Buddha statue as a decorative centrepiece is a good idea. Surrounding it with a handful of rustic, scented or balmy candles is just the perfect thing.

The relaxing aura of candles combined by the positive energy of Buddha instils a living space with a Zen-like feeling, which is unsurpassable.  Make this setting in your living room, garden, roofed terrace or lobby for an exotic, refreshing feel.

Buddha on Lotus Sculptures

You’ll often find that the sculptures and statues of Buddha feature Buddha sitting on a base made of lotuses or flower petals, perhaps under a tree. To place a statue like this in your house, consider a large or wide area, preferably above the height of the table or atop some stage or raised area.

A Giant Golden Laughing Buddha

A laughing Buddha doesn’t just imbibe peace and joyfulness in a space but also plenty of cheerfulness and playfulness, which is often a requirement in the life of grown-ups.

Well, bringing an accessory, ornament or statue made in the form of a laughing Buddha is also a great way to relive stress and shake off the entire tiredness of the day. Apart from the usual places, some great ideas for placing a laughing Buddha in your kitchen, near the brunch table, in your bedroom or even your garden.

Buddha Head Sculptures For Glass Cabinets

If your home features a narrower décor area, use the cabinet and cupboard areas to place Buddha statues instead. Ideally a glass made cabinet is the best place so that the statue or sculpture can be seen in its full form. This might be a bookshelf, a lesser-used kitchen cabinet, a stand-alone cupboard in your living room. 

Apart from these, there are lots of designs, themes and decorations you can think of while purchasing a Buddha carving for your home.  In addition to statues and sculptures, you can consider Buddha wall hangings, Buddha fountains or even Buddha lighting. So, it’s all yours to meditate on now!
