This classic Teaching Buddha Statue is crafted from volcanic ash and pumice by Philippine artisans. The Buddha is shown in the Vitarka Mudra or teaching pose. This gesture represents the discussion and transmission of the teachings by the Buddha. It is also taken as the hand gesture which induces the energy of the teachings and discussions of the spiritual principles which may also involve the arguments of the ideas.

Statues of the Buddha are often incorporated in zen gardens or meditation spaces. The calming influence of this Buddha figurine will be a blessing to you and your guests wherever it is displayed. Lotus-style base included.
