This extraordinary wall relief, carved from individual blocks of lava stone, presents Buddha in serene meditation and teaching posture at the center of the composition. Buddha sits in full lotus on a lotus base, with his right hand in the Vitarka Mudra, symbolizing the teaching and transmission of knowledge, and his left hand in Dhyana Mudra, resting in his lap in a meditative gesture. He is framed by a lush temple and forest setting, evoking peace and spiritual depth.
On either side of Buddha, attendants stand in humble devotion, showcasing intricate detail in their clothing and expressions. The attendants to the left and right offer different gestures of prayer and respect, some with hands clasped, while others hold offerings, including fruits and ceremonial items. The top of the relief features the protective face of Mahakala, symbolizing divine protection, while Yali faces at the base flank the lotus, representing strength and guardianship.
The entire piece is enclosed by an elaborately designed border, which enhances the sacred nature of the scene. The fine craftsmanship, down to the delicate patterns in the attendants' garments and the lush foliage in the background, makes this relief a stunning piece of spiritual art. Whether placed in a temple, spiritual retreat, or as a focal point in any space, this relief radiates a tranquil, meditative atmosphere and the teachings of Buddha.

Founder, Lotus Sculpture
"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.~ Buddha~
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!
