This Buddha statue from Nepal beautifully captures the heavenly attributes of the Enlightened One in the unmatched iconography of Buddhist art, as if it had been coated in pure gold. Buddha is seated in the Padmasana position, which is linked to meditation carried out with the intention of achieving Bodhi, and is enthroned on a blooming golden lotus, which represents the flowering of inner wisdom. His exquisite features-perfect coils, cranial protuberance, lengthened earlobes, and a flawlessly proportioned physique-are complemented by his gently arcing eyes, which are like two waves of the ocean of wisdom. Buddha is depicted with an alms bowl in his hand and is dressed as a gleaming monk, signifying the stern austerity needed to cut one's links with the world as the first step towards becoming one with the Buddha.
