Ancient Gilt Bronze Sitting on Lotus Buddha Statue
About the Item
This Ancient Gilt Bronze Sitting on Lotus Buddha Statue is very special and beautiful, Buddha seated in a meditation posture atop a lotus flower.
The Buddha sitting on a lotus flower holds great symbolic significance in Buddhism. The lotus represents purity, enlightenment, and spiritual growth. It is often used as a metaphor for the journey from darkness and ignorance to light and wisdom, as the lotus flower emerges from muddy waters but remains unstained.
The Buddha with the left hand raised and three fingers extended upwards while the thumb and index finger form a circle, is a distinctive mudra known as the "Karana Mudra" in Buddhist iconography. This gesture holds significant symbolism in Buddhist tradition and is often seen in depictions of Buddha statues and other religious art.
The Karana Mudra typically represents a gesture of dispelling negativity or warding off evil.
The three extended fingers commonly represent the Three Jewels or Three Treasures of Buddhism: the Buddha (the enlightened one), the Dharma (the teachings of the Buddha), and the Sangha (the community of Buddhist practitioners). In this context, the gesture signifies invoking the blessings and protection of the Triple Gem.
The thumb and index finger forming a circle symbolize the unity and harmony of the universe or the cyclical nature of existence. It can also represent the wheel of Dharma, a central symbol in Buddhism representing the teachings of the Buddha and the path to enlightenment.
The Karana Mudra is believed to be a powerful gesture for dispelling obstacles, negativity, and harmful influences, while also invoking blessings, protection, and auspiciousness. It is often used in rituals, ceremonies, and spiritual practices as a means of invoking positive energy and spiritual protection.
