This magnificent stone panel depicts 6 scenes from the life of Lord Buddha with a large frieze of Mahakala on top with two mythical yalis on either side
The sculpture is made from 108 individual blocks of stone that are put together to fashion the wall
This exact stone wall panel is sold but another can be custom carved in the same size by the same artists, we would ask for a down payment of $20,000 to start the project with the final payment due when the statue is in our warehouse and ready to ship to your home (shipping from our warehouse to your home is not included)

This enormous wall sculpture is carved from numerous individual blocks of lava stone that are then put together to form 6 scenes from the life of Lord Buddha. The reason this was done is because the overall size of the wall panel is too large and a stone this size could not be found or transported. This piece would be perfect for a large garden space. If you are looking for a truly impressive wall sculpture this is it!

1. According to Buddhist legend, Maha Maya, the Buddha's mother, dreamed that a white elephant with six tusks entered her right side, which was interpreted to mean that she had conceived a child who would become either a world ruler or a Buddha.

2. The Birth of the Buddha

The Hindu god Indra, here offering a swaddling cloth, attends the Buddha's miraculous birth from his mother's side. Queen Maya, who has the garments and hair style of a Roman matron, stands in an Indian posture associated with female nature spirits who grasp tree branches to make them bloom.

3. The Buddha had cut his hair when he left his palace to achieve enlightenment. It is an act of renunciation to cut off ones' hair. When the Buddha left his life as a prince he cut off his hair and started to live as a monk.

4. This is a panel showing the Buddha becoming enlightened. One day, seated beneath the Bodhi tree (the tree of awakening) Siddhartha became deeply absorbed in meditation, and reflected on his experience of life, determined to penetrate its truth. He finally achieved Enlightenment and became the Buddha.

5. The First Sermon at the Deer Park in Sarnath

Surrounded by ascetics and deities, the Buddha raises one hand in the gesture of reassurance as he offers his first teaching. The wheel and animals on his throne represent, respectively, his teachings and the sermon's location in a deer park.

6. This panel shows the death of the Buddha as he passes into parinirvana. Parinirvana is used to describe the bodily death of someone who has attained Nirvana during their life. The Buddha is said to have died at age 80 between 486-483 B.C. in Kushinagar, lying on a bed under two trees.

"The sculpture chooses you. You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change."
~ Buddha~

The Buddha, whose original name was Siddhartha Gautama, was the founder of Buddhism, the religion and the philosophical system that produced a great culture throughout much of southern and eastern Asia. Buddha, meaning "awakened one" or "enlightened one" is a title not a name. In Hindu Dogma, the Buddha is viewed as being the 9th avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu.
The Buddha was a son of the rulers Sakyas. He was married at the age of 16 and lived in luxury and comfort sheltered from the harsh realities of life. When he was 29 he realized that men are subject to old age, sickness and death. He became aware of the suffering inherent in existence. He resolved to give up princely life and become a wandering ascetic (samana) in search for the Truth.
With the two of samanas he attained mystical states of elevated consciousness but he failed to find the Truth. He continued his search and was joined by five ascetics in a grove near Uruvela, where he practiced sever austerities and self-mortification for six years. When he fainted away in weakness, he abandoned ascetic practices to seek his own path to Enlightenment. Discarding the teachings of his contemporaries, through meditation he achieved Enlightenment, or ultimate understanding. There after the Buddha instructed his followers in the dharma (truth) and the "Middle Way" a path between worldly life and extremes of self-denial.
The essence of the Buddha's early preaching was said to be the four Noble truths: 1) life is fundamentally disappointment and suffering. 2) suffering is a result of one's desires for pleasure, power, and continued existence; 3) to stop disappointment and suffering on must stop desiring; and 4) the way to stop desiring and thus suffering is the Noble eight fold path - right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right awareness and right concentration. The realization of the truth of anatman (no eternal self) was taught as essential for the indescribable state of release called nirvana.

Lava stone statues from Bali do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.

You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.

Soap and warm water is the best way to maintain the statue. You can use a small brush to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.

Lava stone's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The stone can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture at least once a year so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture. This will maintain the sculpture for your grandchildren and then their grandchildren!
