Our gold gilded Shakyamuni statue sits in full lotus pose depicting the Bhumisparsha mudra. Indeed, the Bhumisparsha or “earth touching” mudra is also very symbolic in Buddhism. It is because this mudra was depicted by Shakyamuni Buddha as he was on the verge of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Shakyamuni displayed this mudra in order to call the earth goddess to witness his vanquishment of inner demons. As a result, Shakyamuni Buddha achieved his goal and became the first enlightened being of our time.
