Read the blog post on the story of this Buddha sculpture and the monk, Tai of the Dharma Mountain Meditation Temple in Valley Center, California
This Buddha is hand carved by the artists of Vietnam, would be perfect for a temple or garden setting and perfect in any weather hot or cold

This Gandhara style Buddha statue is entirely hand carved from one piece of white marble. The Gandhara style is instantly noticeable by looking at the Buddha's hair. It is straight rather than curly and placed on a bun on top of his head. He wears a monks robe with his right shoulder exposed. He is seated in the dhyana mudra. It is the mudra of meditation, of concentration on the Good law and of the attainment of spiritual perfection. According to tradition, this mudra derives from lord Buddha when he was meditating under the pipal tree before his Enlightenment. This gesture was also used by yogis during their meditation and concentration exercises. It indicates the perfect balance of thought, rest of the senses, and tranquility. His gaze is penetrating with a look of deep concentration.The Buddha is seated in the padmasana or full lotus position. This is the leg position of deep meditation. A magnificent Buddha perfect for any garden, home or temple! White marble from Varanasi is perfect for the hottest summer, coldest winter or wettest fall.

One of these Buddha statues was sold to the residing monk, Tai, of the Dharma Mountain Meditation Center in Valley Center.

I always say to our customers; The sculpture chooses you, you do not choose the sculpture.
You just know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart. - Kyle Tortora, Founder of Lotus Sculpture

Use a cotton cloth and gently buff the surface of the statue to bring out the natural polish of the stone.

White, red and black marble statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. Here are some easy tips to keep your White, red and black marble statues from Lotus Sculpture looking like the gods they are:

Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
To make the statue shine use a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
You can use a small amount of natural oil such as coconut oil or olive oil to further polish the sculpture
Use a tooth brush to get into the hard to reach spaces of the sculpture
DO NOT TOUCH the painted surfaces of any of the white marble statues. This will damage the painting if done often

White marble statues that are unpainted can be placed outdoors. We recommend keeping our smaller red and black marble statues as well as any painted marble statues in an indoor environment. The red and black marble statues have some delicate pieces that could chip if left outisde. The paint from the white marble statues will not last for more than 4 years if left outside so use discretion when placing your statues outdoors.

Someone must be present to receive the statue. Depending on where you are located we will use either R&L Carriers, UPS Freight, Estes, DHX or Roadrunner Transport.
The freight company will use a lift gate to bring the sculpture to the ground and then use a pallet jack to move it anywhere on the same level. They will move it anywhere in your driveway or in your garage. They will not take it to your backyard or in the elevator to your apartment or up or down any steps. They will not be unpacking the statue and taking the crate away. Think of them as you would UPS or Fedex. They only deliver the statue. If you require a little extra service, (within reason) a tip to a delivery man usually works wonders!
For placing the statue our customers have either placed the statue themselves with help of a friend and a tool like a hand truck or a dolly. Or by contacting their landscaper who is used to moving large and heavy objects like rocks and trees into place. For much larger and heavier sculptures sometimes the customer needs a piece of heavy equipment for placing the statue like a crane or forklift. If you have any questions contact me directly at [email protected] or (760) 994-4455
