Buddha Chinese Buddhist Sculpture Head Bust
Item No. 8004SM
Gautama Buddha was born in 563 b.c. in northeast India. The Buddha was the son of the King of the
Sakyas. Suddhodana, who ruled at Kapilavastu, on the border of Nepal. His mother was Queen Maya.
He was named Siddhartha. He lived amidst the pleasures of palace life and at age 16 he was married
to Princess Yasodhara. They had a son named Rahula. After seeing a decrepid old man, an invalid, and
an ascetic beggar, he learned of suffering and decided to embrace asceticism. Soon afterwards, at age
29, Siddhartha left the palace and his family and went to a hermitage where he became the monk
Gautama, or, as he is still called, Sakyamuni (The ascetic of the Sakyas). One day, meditating under a
sacred figtree, he attained perfect illumination (Bodhi). He had become a Buddha. From there on he
traveled and preached for 44 years what was to become one of the main religions of the world. He died
at Kusinagara at age 80. Here the Buddha is depicted in the reclining position which symbolizes the
moment the Buddha entered Nirvana at the time of his death.
