Description
This beautifully carved golden Burmese teak wood Buddha statue is
seated in
the earth touching gesture also know as “calling the earth to witness”.
This mudra represents the moment when the Buddha, seated in the
meditation under the Bodhi Tree on the eve of enlightenment, is
challenged by Mara (the Evil One) to prove that he had given alms. At
that point the Buddha touched the ground with his right hand, asking
the
earth to bear witness to his good deeds in previous existences. In
response the earth quaked, causing Mara and his hosts to flee. This
mudra may also be referred to as maravijaya meaning “victory over
Mara.”
The statue is inlaid with green, red and blue mirror and glass mosaic.
This wood sculpture is a one of a kind statue, hand carved by the very talented artists of Myanmar (Burma). Every piece is truly unique!
