Sakyamuni
Buddha
The Sakyamuni Buddha, seated on his lotus throne, surrounded by lotuses, represents that moment when the buddha became enlightened. His right hand points toward the Earth as a witness to his divine awakening. His left hand holds the begging bowl, common to all Buddhist monks, representing the simple life of a beggar on the outside, while the inner life is infinite, eternal, and ever-present in enlightened consciousness.
