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 in a locked position) or in the 'single lotus' position ( where one rests on the other). Sometimes it is displayed 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.

This pose is also known as Amithabha Buddha, which means "Boundless Light".
