symbolism: The word "Buddha" means "awakened one". A Buddha in Buddhism is understood as a being who, through his own efforts, has achieved the purity and perfection of his mind, thus achieving the unlimited development of all his potentials: perfect wisdom (prajna) and infinite, yet distant compassion (karuna). ) with all living things. He has already achieved nirvana during his lifetime and is therefore no longer bound by the cycle of reincarnation (samsara) according to Buddhist belief. Awakening is transcendent in nature, unfathomable, "deep and unfathomable as the ocean," and thus the experience defies linguistic description. Their quality is incomprehensible to people who have not had this experience themselves.

Crafting: First, the master figure is handcrafted by an artist. The impression creates a mold with which the sculptures are then roughly cast. The material is a mixture of cement and lava sand. This sand comes from the Merapi volcano. It is one of the most active volcanoes and is considered the most dangerous in the world. All details are painstakingly engraved from a rough sand casting and then polished and painted in several procedures.

Artists from the island of Java (Indonesia) understand their craft and want to convey through their sculptures the joy you have in creating works of art.
