Wood statuette, 'Buddha the Teacher' Art Gallery Sculpture Wood - Buddhism Hinduism Spirituality 
An
image of serenity, Buddha blesses his followers while holding a
jug filled with holy water. His image is carved from
noble sono wood, its rich grain enhancing the intensity of
Buddha's meditative pose. Wayan Rendah's work is admirable, for he
works with devoted care to detail to make of this
statuette a most vivid rendition of he who is known
as the greatest teacher. The scriptures tell of a
young Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) of whom it was prophesized he
was set to become the greatest teacher of the world.
When he became 29 years of age he left his
wealthy family in pursuit of the truth and after six
years he experienced the religious epiphanies that would become the
basis of Buddhism: that a wholesome existence guided by proper
understanding, contemplation, and concentration releases one from the painful cycle
of life and death.
