Buddha Statues and Buddha Images

The Buddha Statues or Statues of Buddha are not only great decorative artifacts, as a matter of fact; the Buddha Statues can be of a big importance while practicing the religion of Buddhism as well as meditation. Just as Buddhism is practiced in different ways, the Buddha Statues also hold different meaning to different people. These artifacts represent inner peace and harmony, enhancing one’s ability to harness the inner spirit inside him/her. At the same time, the followers of The Buddha’s teachings can have themselves encouraged to yearn for more knowledge about life with all the hardships they face in life. With different poses and styles of the statues, every person following the religion always wants to make him/herself closer to the principles of the Buddha, the enlightened one and apply those teachings in their everyday life so as to make their existence meaningful and fruitful for themselves and to the ones who are closer to them.

The Buddha Statues can be found in various designs as well as poses. The designs vary from the place of origin as the countries of origin of these statues have their own artistic as well as tradition of carving sculptures from various raw materials like Stone (Marble), Lacquer, Wood, Bronze and many more. Along with the designs and raw materials, these statues are available in various colors too. Similarly, these sacred statues are found in various poses and these poses also add different meaning to the statues. Poses, or Mudras, as they are generally termed, are the ritualistic gestures that are used in Buddhist and Hindu art forms for the deities, reflecting their common Indian heritage and all the Buddha Statues are found performing at least one of the Mudras. While most of the statues of Buddha have peculiar hand gestures to define a particular mudra, there are other full bodied representations of the Buddha representing other mudras.

The Buddha Images portrays the inspirational principles of Buddha in the form of Images and pictures or Arts. Buddha Images are of simpler forms which provide a fair amount of information, meaning and implications to the viewers. Traditionally, Buddha Images were made for religious purposes and to show the respect towards Buddha and his principles. It may be quite confusing at times as different localities have different cultures and tradition regarding the religion, but the fact, as a whole is, these images are a way to show respect and love towards Buddha, Buddhism and the teaching of this particular religion.
