Buddha Statue in Various Designs
buddha statue 		Rather than a religion in the traditional sense, Buddha started a way of life which was independent of dogma, priesthood and sacrifice.  He was a true person who taught a method of peaceful living through selflessness, and emphasized ahimsa - the absence of the desire to kill.

Buddha was believed by Hindus to be the ninth incarnation of Vishnu, and broke away from the rigid Brahminism prevalent in his times, rejecting the caste system, the Vedas and even the Hindu concept of liberation.  He emphasized natural law rather than supernaturalism - each person could gain his own salvation for himself.  Glorified further by its acceptance by King Asoka, Buddhism now has a name which is known as representative of peace all over the world.

This Buddha statue is one of a large range of designs of Buddha sculpture in bronze, brass and wood, which bring his serenity to your home.
