Large Stone Buddha ~ Meditation

The pictured hand carved stone Buddha statue was crafted from a colorful type of Himalayan stone by skilled artisans in India. An incredible work of art, simply amazing natural rock. The colors and patterns in the stone, and the individual carving itself makes this stone Buddha statue unique. The skill of carving, the weight of the statue, and the beauty of the natural stone are all more impressive than the photos can show. The Buddha's pose is called the dhyana mudra, the meditation posture, also called "samadhi" or "yoga" pose. This is the posture of meditation, of concentration (samadhi) on the Dharma, and of the attainment of spiritual perfection, or bodhi, "awakening".
