Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha, is the central figure in Buddhism, whose teachings form the foundation of the Buddhist path. His image represents the potential for enlightenment that resides within all beings. The depiction of Shakyamuni in meditation, often with the bhumi sparsha mudra (earth-touching gesture), symbolizes his moment of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree when he called the Earth to witness his victory over ignorance and temptation. This powerful image serves as an inspiration for those on the spiritual path, reminding them of the possibilities of awakening and inner peace.
