Beautiful Hand Made Stone Starving Buddha Statue 48″
- One important stage of the Buddha’s spiritual awakening is related to fasting. When the young price Siddhartha left his palace in search of enlightenment he practiced for six years with a group ascetics that sought to purify their bodies under severe austerities and intense mental concentration.
- He ate only enough to survive and his body withered away to skin and bones. At the end of this period, he was surviving only on a single grain of rice a day.
- This sculpture depicts this fasting stage of the Buddha’s spiritual progress with sculptural depictions called the Emaciated or Fasting Buddha. The Buddha is shown with his skin gripping his skeltal body with his thin muscles and veins bulging from his skin.
- His neck is taught with his tendons sticking out. He is in the Gandhara style originating in Pakistan with a full beard and his long flowing hair in a topknot on top of his head.
- His cheeks are hallow and his downcast eyes sunken.
- His hands are resting in his lap in the dhyana mudra of meditation. He wears an expression of pure and devoted concentration.
- His robes rest on both his arms and cover his lower half. The base depicts Siddartha’s fellow ascetics in various postures of worship.
