Buddhist Statues: Resources and Information

Statue of Songtsen Gampo, created by Bertrand Cayla, located in the Jokhang which FPMT International Office shares with Maitripa College, Portland, Oregon, USA

 A Buddhist statue represents the holy body of a buddha.

Buddhas are invited to abide in statues through a consecration ceremony. When this is complete, the statue is an actual embodiment of the Buddha, and should be respected as such.
