About The God
The Buddha Shakyamuni, at the moment of
enlightenment, invoked the earth as witness, as indicated by the
fingers of his right hand, which spread downward in bhumisparsha
mudra, "the earth touching gesture". As the Buddhist sutras
narrate, the sun and moon stood still, and all the creatures of the
world came to offer respect to the Supreme One who had broken through
the boundaries of egocentric existence. All Buddhist art celebrates
this moment and leads the viewer toward the Buddha's experience of
selfless and unsurpassed enlightenment.
Buddhist art pictures the Buddha in
numerous manifestations, but always as a model of human potential,
never as a historically identifiable person. All forms of the Buddha,
however, are commonly shown seated on a lotus throne, a symbol of the
mind's transcendent nature.
