The primary deity and the focus of all rituals and meditation exercises in a Buddhist monastery is an idol of the Buddha. By meditating in front of an image of the Buddha, one can begin their journey towards enlightenment by progressing from his outward grandeur to his inner splendor. One such Buddha icon that guards the path to Ultimate Wisdom is this copper figure of Buddha Shakyamuni from Nepal, which exudes calm and appears to glow inside. The Bhumisparsha mudra of this icon tells the dramatic story of the Buddha's victory over Mara, the demonic embodiment of primal urges, to whose instigations Buddha calmly responded by invoking Mother Earth as his witness, who manifested and declared Buddha's victory over Mara.
