Buddha Tibetan Tibet Buddhist Statue Sculpture Relief
Item No. 8044S
Reproduction after Museum Original
This sculpture shows key scenes in the life of Buddha beginning with his birth in the lower left corner and
also including his illumination and death. 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
decrepit old man, an invalid, and an ascetic beggar, he learned of suffering and decided to embrace
asceticism. Soon afterward, 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 fig tree, 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.
