Description
Alms Bowl Buddha: Arms bent at elbows, holding an alms bowl at chest level. This statue signifies compassion and caring for all beings. Contrary to what many think, monks (and the Buddha) did NOT beg for food. Instead, they collected alms. The difference is that collecting alms allows for those GIVING the alms to make merit (meaning, to acquire good karma). Devout Buddhists in Asia will prepare and give food to monks in the morning on their alms rounds. The erection of such a Buddha statue expresses a certain lifestyle, which is characterized by mindfulness, serenity and the balance between rest and active life. The garden is the ideal place to meditate in the face of Buddha and to gather new strength. With its calm and harmonious charisma, the figure lends the surroundings a mystical aura and conveys Far Eastern flair. Thus, the Buddha statue combines atmospheric decoration and high quality through the unique handicraft.
