A beautiful Thai statuette of a meditating Buddha, in a floral robe, decorated with a pattern of Bodhi leaves, or a sacred fig tree. Symbolism: the meditating Buddha expresses concentration and stability. The height is about 14 cm. The statuette is made of durable polyresin.

The trees and individual leaves of Bodhi (waking, enlightenment) are a symbol reminiscent of the enlightenment of the Buddha. For centuries, trees have provided a refuge for humans and animals, a common symbol of nature. Tree worship has a very long tradition, based on the fact that the Buddha was sitting just under a tree at the time of enlightenment. Bodhi trees are sacred fig trees, in Latin Ficus religiosa L.

Another of the common positions in which the Buddha is depicted is the so-called meditating Buddha. In this position, the Buddha is depicted with both hands in his lap, palms up and legs crossed, either in the 'double lotus' position (with the ankles of both feet tucked behind each other in the so-called locked position) or in the 'single lotus' position ( where one rests on the other). Sometimes it is depicted with a bowl intended for alms (money or food, which is a simple but most important object of Buddhist monks).
The statuette is supposed to express great concentration, so the Buddha's eyes are usually narrowed or completely closed. The silhouette represents an imaginary triangle, which means stability .
This statuette is intended for people who are either looking for peace in their lives or for those who want to improve their own meditation skills. The statuette is placed in the room we want to have quiet, peaceful or in the part of the room in which we want to sit in peace and relax. Many of the largest Buddha statues in Japan, such as the Great Statue of Kamakura Buddha at Kotokuin Temple and the Great Statues in Korea, are in a meditative pose. This pose is also known as Amithabha Buddha, which means "Boundless Light".

The Buddha, awakened, enlightened, is a being in Buddhism who has attained perfect realization, so-called enlightenment. Such beings are freed from the so-called three poisons of the mind, ie ignorance, anger and greed, and from suffering. The essence of being for them are the characteristic features of being, which means dissatisfaction, instability and insignificance.
