Sakyamuni
Buddha The Sakyamuni
Buddha, seated on his lotus throne, surrounded by lotuses, represents
that moment when the buddha became enlightened. His right hand
points toward the Earth as a witness to his divine awakening.
His left hand holds the begging bowl, common to all Buddhist monks,
representing the simple life of a beggar on the outside, while
the inner life is infinite, eternal, and ever-present in enlightened
consciousness.
