Buddha means a person who is awake. He was a prince of the Shakya tribe, son of King Shudhodana and Queen Maya. Raised with luxury and opulence. He married and had a son also. While everything was going right up to he reaches the age of 29, there is an incident that changed his mind towards the urge for illumination. He came across an old, sick, corpse which he realizes that no wealth can save him from suffering. so he left his lavish life and walk off and began his journey of spiritual quest.
6 years after through deep meditation and self-deprivation, he finally realized enlightenment under a fig tree in Bod Gaya. And he spent the rest of his life teaching others to attain enlightenment. His teachings include four noble truths, which can be achieved with ethical conduct and the right attitude. With the eightfold truth, including ethical life that benefits others.
The above statue is the depiction of the period from his teaching, widely known as the Dharma chakra Buddha. sitting on a lotus platform with Vajrasana mudra (known as the double lotus pose). Both hands are folded in front of the hearts depicting that these teachings are straight from the heart, with the thumb and index of both hands touching at their tip to form a circle. The circle represents the “Wheel of Dharma”. The remaining fingers of both hands remain extended.
