Description
The standing Buddha is made of Basanite, Basanite is a volcanic, greenish rock. The stone gets its characteristic colour from a lot of clay minerals. The small to medium sized indentations in the rock are a characteristic feature and mark the good quality of the natural stone. The sculptures are frost-resistant, but do not tolerate road salt. 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.
