Product Description
This particular pose of the Buddha is better known in Buddhism as Mahaparinirvanasana. Buddha is said to have known that his death was imminent while in this position. He asked his disciples to make a couch for him in a bush so that he could lie down more easily. This moment is said to have taken place in Kushinagara in India when he was eighty years old. Therefore, this physical passing of the awakened world is called Mahaparinirvana, the state beyond Nirvana.
The reclining Buddha statues are not meant to evoke a state of sadness in the devotees. Rather, the reclining Buddha should be understood as an object of encouragement that all beings have the potential to become awakened or enlightened and free themselves from the suffering characterized by the cycle of rebirth. The serene and smiling expression of the Buddha in the reclining Buddha statue represents the compassion and serenity that comes with enlightenment.
