Four Things To Consider When Buying A Buddha Statue
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2024
- When it comes to buying a Buddha statue, although it’s tempting to buy a statue based on its appearance, there are a couple of things we should know prior to our purchase. There are many Buddha statues to choose from: from fat to skinny Buddhas or just the head to his whole body. So which statue is best for developing our practice? Aside from knowing which statue to buy and where to buy them from, there are other things we need to consider. In this video, I explain everything we need to know and keep in mind, before and after our purchase.

The thing to consider when buying a buddha statue is, "Does this statue add to my sense of peace?"
If the answer is yes then it's the right Buddha statue.
Paul van Bellen Excellent! You have hit the nail on the head. That's wisdom!
This makes so much sense. Thank you!
Can i put my meditating budha in my room? I live with my parents... i do everything in my room from meditating and training, studying and sleeping .. is it ok to put it there ?
I was thinking the same thing until I bought a buda head in a yard sale. I wanted to put it outside in my garden but then I began to think it was disrespectful since I had no idea what it means now I'm indecisive to put it or not
Wow, is make sense thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏👍👍😁😁🌹🌹🌹
My Buddha statue was given to me by a monk after I told him I’m scared of monsters at night. He gave me the Buddha to let me know that nothing will harm me because buddha is watching over me
those things are monsters
lmaoooo
Let’s see
That was sweet of him. ❤️
Buddha's teachings will help you...
When the Buddha was alive, and for many decades after he was not depicted in statues. Siddhartha Gautama didn't like being represented directly and preferred to be shown as a footprint, the wheel of dhamma or an empty throne. Statues showing him came long after his death. I agree though, personal feeling is important, as long as you have respect.
The most amazing thing I have read all day. Thanks for that! : ))
Bang on, 💯 true.
👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏽
We had Buddhas in the house when I was growing up. Though we are Catholic, my mother liked them and was always picking them up when she saw them at flea markets and antique or thrift type stores. Her father liked the image of Buddha too and considered them good luck....but my mother, referring to the expression on Buddhas face, says that they also make her feel peaceful. So I feel as if the Buddha has always been present in my life, and that may be one of the reasons for my interest in Buddhism. This past Mother's Day, I bought her a beautiful large stone sitting Buddha for her garden that I found at a local garden center. It looks so beautiful with her flowers growing around it.
Just found your channel, it's very informative - thanks for sharing!

I have a statue of the Buddha when he is touching the Earth. Beautiful.
Mindah, i cant even put into words how much you have helped me. I know i cant be the only one. I just wanted to say THANK YOU. Im starting to love myself and the world around me more and more.
Thank you so much. I'm a sycretist and find keeping Buddah statues around me helps me keep in a good, positive mind set. Thanks so much. x
For 80% of population: "the first step to buying a Buddha statue, is to not know anything about Buddhism."
I'm Christian but Buddha statues bring peacefulness.

If what you posted is true then we NEED More IDOLATRY!
God knows your heart no one can tell you what you are no one can judge the way you feel and no one can tell you how to feel
Iron Will my friend following any man who claims hes deity, is idolatry.namaste.
@MarKel Beverley what right do you think you have over the internet in the comments section.to judge someone if there a Christian or following jesus or not.spunds like it's you that don't understand jesus teachings.and Christanity full of superstitions just to let you know.
God also brings Peace! I don't think you should have these in your house if you're a Christian! If you're a Christian and you don't have peace something is wrong!
I really like your videos! You speak seriously, yet always seem on the verge of laughter, which is very charming.
Thank you for all of this information, it really helped me to feel comfortable about my Buddha and how and where I placed it in my new apartment! Blessings to you
So interesting and helpful!! Thank you Mindah, I love your videos!
A beautiful presentation. (I also love the visuals, with your top matching the flowers by the statue, and the stripes on the cushion. And, you have the most beautiful speaking voice I've heard in a long time.) Anyway, thank you, very much.
Extremely informative. Thank you so much, I had been trying to find exactly this kind of information 🙏🏻
Your videos are always wonderful. Thank you, Mindah!
Thank you for telling people that the statue in Chinese restaurants is not Siddhartha Gautoma!
BroccoliRocks Well, to clarify, if the statue is a fat Buddha or some call it the Smiling Buddha, his actual name is Mettaya Buddha (in Pali) and Maitreya Buddha (in Sanskrit). The meaning of the name is Loving-Kindness. As for Siddhartha Gautama whom you mentioned, his name is Sakyamuni Buddha (in Pali) and Shakyamuni Buddha (in Sanskrit). Sakyamuni Buddha is the current Buddha while Mettaya Buddha is the next successor Buddha in the future.
@@jamess8175 the laughing buddha is actually a Chinese monk who they proclaim to be the future buddha
Gautam**. Siddhartha Gautam is his real name before he got enlightenment.
@Buddhist Beast bbudai is what westerner calls maitreya buddha
Thank you so much for this clear explanations... And dear Mindah and dear friends, as i living in Sydney, so i would like to take this opportunity to invite you all to visit the largest stone Buddha Statue in Sydney, right here in our Australia... All the best to you Mindah and thank you...

I just discovered your channel! Thank you so much!
I'm enjoying your videos. Have been thinking about buying a Buddha statue for some time, and your video happens to validate the ones I'm leaning towards and gives appropriate reasons for my selection. Thanks. I've been looking for a temple to attend but I think I'll continue with yours and other videos on Buddhism before I commit to that. Thanks again. :-)
Thank you so much for enlightening me. I try to respect everyone's belief. I was not knowledgeable about Buddha Statue's, but will now be more mindful.
Your beautiful comment about it really being about how you connect with a particular statue and how it makes you feel. So powerful and helpful. Thank you.
I found this fascinating. Some very interesting points. Thank you. 🙏
Thanks for this information, really like the way you explained.
Thank you very much for that! Wonderfully informative :))) Hope you are having a lovely day x

Wow, very informative. Thanks so much.
Thank you. It was interesting and helpful x
A wonderful and revealing presentation !!!I had no idea there was so much to know .
Lord Buddha is loved.
Wonderful information!Thank you so much.
My dad went to Thailand in 1972 and gifted my mom a 2 ft wooden bhudda, sitting with hands resting. I now have it. That has sentimental value for me.
Thank you Mindah and looking forward for your more videos...
Actually statue is a symbol only, we should select the best statue which helps our practices, but mainly its in one's mind and favours differ according to individual's interests 🙏❤️🌷
Thank you for the information I was planning on getting a statue of buddah and now I know what to look for.
thank you for all your posts
Excellent, very informative. Namaste
Great presentation, lots of thanks
Thank you for the excellent guidance.
just discovered your channel and am really enjoying your informative videos. Peace and love to you :)
Very grateful for the “education “ thank you!
Thank you for this excellent video! Could you please make a video about building a personal shrine? Are there any things to consider or some things that are not appropriate? Do you have a shrine yourself?
Hi Mindah!
Nice to find some super informative videos about Buddhism, they have been really helpful!
Just wanted to ask about the different dieties which people pray towards - in Hong Kong we have Tin Hau god, Goddess of Mercy (guanyin) and gods for medicine and laughter (like you talked about in this video)- Maybe make a video informing us on these?
Awesome thank you so much !
Thank you very much indeed for the useful information 🙏
I had no idea! Thanks so much for posting this video! I'd love to see a video about setting up your own personal alter & meditation space!
I'd really like to set up one for my family 🙏

I'd love some more information to about how to start a practice with small children 😊

Hi love your videos. Is there a video going over all the hand positions? Keep up the good videos that makes Buddhism accessible to the world.
I'm thinking of become a Buddhist and this has really helped
Proud to be buddist from India🙏
It’s great to watch your videos

Thank you very very much
Thank you very much :)
Thank you. Nice video. 😉
Thumbs up for your great job. Peace
you are very wise
Agree. THank you
Thank you 😊
Hi Mindah-Lee :) is there something meaningful about the posture of the small statue I have? The figure is kneeling, using his one hand to balance a bowl (for a tea candle) on his knees. The other hand is held upright, against the chest. The figure does have curly hair, a slim body and serene expression. Thank you, your videos always tickle my curiosity and warm my heart.
Yes I love your video
Thank you.....
Thank you
Hello! I'm a newer Buddhist and I love your videos. Can you please teach me how to make a proper shrine for my home? I appreciate it thank you
Great present
I have a locker at my job, is it okay to put my Buddha statue in there? Thanks for the video and the information. As a beginner Buddhist I'll definitely subscribing to you.
Thank you this is very helpful. With Metta
Great Video and information 😊! I may have another thing to consider when buying a buddha statue: Consider buying your buddha from an artist, and not from a random company that prints cheap plastics out on a 3d-printer 😃🙏.
As Thai, I discourage people to have only the hard of our Buddha.
Some of our real Buddha Statue has been beheaded in the past to sell on the black market.
the basic principle is, we would not have ONLY the head of the person we respect right?
the scientists the president as an example.
❤ from Bhutan 🇧🇹
dude, this is cool
I just bought my first Buddhist statue. Ive been a Buddhist for 25 years and finally bought a medicine buddha brass statue. Ive been using incense holders inlue of a statue. My ex wife forbidden Buddhist items in my household. But its 30" tall and 24" wide. I will be holding a over night visual and fasting for 3 days with candles and incense. Because of the world situation in 2021 im not able to have it blessed, but a visual is almost the same. It's going to be in my bedroom because im always sick (lung problems) and medicine buddha should be where you heal. Thanks for the great video, im excited.
Dear Self,
Would you please explain the difference among statutes made out of wood, stone, metal, bone, etc? I notice that all the Bhuddas I saw in Japan where made only out of wood. In Tibet I noticed that all the Bhuddas were made mostly out of metals. Is there a meaning in the materials used to make a Bhudda statue?
I love your video!!!
Peace & Joy,
Love & Light !
great video
