Shakyamuni is the Buddha of our time. He is the glorious root teacher of allthe diverse lineages that make up Buddhism as we know it. Born Siddhartha Gautamamore than 2500 years ago, he was the crown prince of the Shakya kingdom locatedin the Himalayan foothills of what is now southern Nepal.He left luxurious palace life behind him, however, in pursuit of the truth ofthe origin of suffering and the cessation of fear. His astounding courage,determination, wisdom and compassion led to his perfect enlightenment despiteseemingly insurmountable obstacles. His teachings have transformed individualsand nations throughout the world and still speak to us today.
Gestures and AttributesThe Buddha is depicted with his right hand extended to the earth in theBhumispara Mudra, the gesture of witness. He is \"calling the earth to witness\"his supreme victory over the temptations and illusions of the material world as symbolizedby the demon Mara. His left hand lies in his lap with palm upward in the gestureof meditation (Dhyana Mudra). In some representations he also holds the beggingbowl of an ordained Buddhist monk. The bowl contains three precious nectars indicating that hehas conquered the three demons of uncontrolled death, contaminated aggregates, anddelusion. Thus this posture is known as \"Buddha Shakyamuni Conquering the Demons\"and shows the moment of the Buddha\'s full enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.
