This Buddha sculpture in the “teaching” gesture represents Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of compassion. As a great teacher he showed the path to ultimate peace and happiness for all sentient beings and reminds us that we can cultivate the awakening mind within ourselves.
Amitabha Buddha’s eyes are open in a very gentle gaze to express his compassion.  The right hand is at shoulder level, the left at the level of the hips. Both hands – thumbs are touching the tips of the forefingers forming a circle.
Mahayana Buddhism considers Amitabha Buddha as the lord of the Pure Land of Bliss in the West, where everyone relishes eternal youth. The devotional chanting of his name in this world helps a person enter the blissful land and achieve enlightenment after death. 

Each piece you see here is made individually by our master artisans. The craftsmanship involved creates slight variations in color, finish, size, and shape - a quality we consider to be an added touch of uniqueness. The remarkable detail of our stone sculptures is due to meticulous and labor-intensive care by our craftsmen to produce these unique sculptures of exquisite detail and timeless durability.

About Marble:  The Marble used for our sculptures is the samand white  which is a pure white marble with purple veins that is perfect for any type of location and weather conditions, hot or cold, wet or dry..  It can also be polished or unpolished giving it a clean or rough feel.  In humid conditions if it is left untouched it takes on a very mysterious, antique, worn look like you would see in the temple ruins of India.
