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
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.
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
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.
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!
@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!
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.
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.
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... ruclips.net/video/V6HcsrEJ4Q0/видео.html
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
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.
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.
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 🙏❤️🌷
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.
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 😃🙏.
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 !
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?
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.
I am curious..Buddha never travelled to China but It was Hu yen Sung….who came to India and carried buddhism to China….Hi Mindah ..anyway Thnx for beautiful presentation..I find Vaishnism and buddhism similar….the way you are saying ..catches attention…..let me mention..without mind and spirit….any worship becomes ritual than spiritual..so mind has to be engaged always in His service…..cosmic connection…If anyone is seriously engaged in Buddism…I request ..please visit sarnath…where Buddha first gave his preaching to famous five deciples……….one of his deciple was King Asoka Buddha born as prince at Kapilavastu…was so moved by human suffering at tender age…he left palace, beautiful wife, wealth and went to Bodh Gaya (India) for self realization…..where he obtained Siddhi…There one girl from lower level fed him rice pudding….then he came to Sarnath to start preaching meaning of human birth in this world, nonviolence….If one practices and follows ..His/her mind and soul will be enlightened….he will never be able to envy anyone….it gives you absolute mental strength…you will enjoy meditaing more yourself rather enjoying partying ..It makes you very balanced one… WE keep specil place called temple room at home….which is very imp
Sakyamuni is from kaanchivaram. He is king of kaanchi (in 6 th century I guess).kaanchi had the first University in India. Older than nallandha University.Saakyamuni traveled to China and spread Zen Buddhism. Kaanchi in Tamil Nadu is the birth place of Saakyamuni -founder of Zen Buddhism.
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. :-)
Can i have meditating budha in my room? I do martial arts and i really like the statue... i do everything in my room i study, sleep, meditate, train, everything in there :) plz answer
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.
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?
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 🙏 thank you!! ❤️ I'd love some more information to about how to start a practice with small children 😊
i bought one from a friend his father is a wood carver and said they are throwing out some old stuff that are not good to sell anymore, nevertheless i immediately bought it for a very low price, they were happy i am happy
Until this video I always thought the Buddha statues were portrayed as wearing a headdress of some kind. Is what I am thinking of really very thick curly hair tied in a top knot? What about the Thai Buddha statues with the spike on top. Is that supposed to be part of a helmet or a headdress? Why would the Buddha be portrayed with hair if the Sangha shaved their heads?
I’m happy to ha e encounterd ure video,one day I felt as I was beighn swallowed by negative thoughts,that same day I crossed paths wit a stone stand up budda wholding two balls in one hand,I always liked budda,and I purchased this four foot 150 lb statue,going to paint it gold,and enjoy my new front yard scenery next to my huge clay turtle.might paint both variety of colors.
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.
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.
I accidentaly got the Buddha meditating with a bowl in his hands. I don't care if it might not be the acchual Buddha, but I use the bowl as a candle holder (LED, I put him on a wooden shelf, where I made a mini shrine that I don't want to catch fire to). I use the light to remind me that Buddha is the light.
I love this, I have had buddhas for years and I knew that they were all a bit different, but it's great to know what the differences are. I am looking for a buddha statue for my community garden because I feel it's missing something and I think this will complete it. I need to find a good one that will make the garden look tranquil and I am planning on putting it near a water fountain, will this be ok?
Shakyamuni didn't want images made of him, yet a statue of someone sitting reminds us to take the time to sit. All become Buddha as as "bodhi" means innate intelligence, which we are. Enlightenment, beholding light within, is realization. Even the Epistles of the New Testament says, "God is light." God just means the highest good. We continue to discover exactly what life is...
***** I hope you'll make a video about chanting mantras too.. oh, and maybe a discussion about different schools/traditions and linages of Buddhism :) Namo Buddhaya!
to those like myself whom are searching for a statue, somthing to keep in mind. Do not worry or hasten yourself in buying a buddha statue. Be patient and find it in its time. Buddha is in the heart, an image is fine.
Often Non Buddhist buy Buddha statues as prop. Once I saw a Buddha statues used as toilet door block by psychologist couple. The couple has some interest in Meditation I guess as I saw couple of Buddhist Journal.
I always buy a Buddha that feeds my soul. I have recently taken to buying Monks. Too many people have preconceptions of each Buddha. With a monk...not so.
As far as I was told by a Theravada monk, a Theravada Buddha has a sharp point on the top of the head. A Mahayana Buddha is rounded. The one behind Mindah in the video would be Mahayana.
please note that all buddhas have achieved enlightened , thus they will have a perfect form, so all buddhas look the same, you can have a statue of amitabah, but if you are thinking of shakyamuni, it will be the same please correct me if im wrong, speaking from a mahayana buddhist point of view.
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...
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!

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
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.
I have a statue of the Buddha when he is touching the Earth. Beautiful.
Thank you for telling people that the statue in Chinese restaurants is not Siddhartha Gautoma!

thank you for sharing your knowledge regarding the buddha statue, my daughter just bought me a baby buddha and so happy to have it.
I really like your videos! You speak seriously, yet always seem on the verge of laughter, which is very charming.

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.
I wanted to thank you so much for sharing this, I have a statue and it means a lot to me
i want one because i feel like it will have good energy and have a relaxing feel to my room
OK thank u.
I found this fascinating. Some very interesting points. Thank you. 🙏
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.
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.
This is SUPER informative. Very valuable information, and stated clear and precisely. Thank you.
For 80% of population: "the first step to buying a Buddha statue, is to not know anything about Buddhism."
thank you for explaining everything so deeply, it all makes sense.
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.
So interesting and helpful!! Thank you Mindah, I love your videos!
Extremely informative. Thank you so much, I had been trying to find exactly this kind of information 🙏🏻
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.
Proud to be buddist from India🙏
Lord Buddha is loved.
Hey, brazillian zen buddhist here! Totally agree!

Love this video thank you
That is a seriously nice Buddha behind you. It looks very expensive. I think its your energy and intention that empowers it.

Very useful tips for distinguishing real Buddha statues: hands empty, not bald, not laughing. Thank You!

the basic principle is, we would not have ONLY the head of the person we respect right?

Thanks for your knowledge
Buddha started in India long before it got to Japan or China thank you
Such beauty in these tips!

Often Non Buddhist buy Buddha statues as prop. Once I saw a Buddha statues used as toilet door block by psychologist couple.
The couple has some interest in Meditation I guess as I saw couple of Buddhist Journal.
thats terrible!
Do you think its disrespectful if a new buddhist buys one?
Thank You, very helpful 🙏🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺
Hi, now that you are taling about buying, you should make a video about buddhism and minimalism :)
Namo buddhay .. Jay ashok .. From india
I always buy a Buddha that feeds my soul. I have recently taken to buying Monks. Too many people have preconceptions of each Buddha. With a monk...not so.

Can you please give me a link to the buddha statue that you have in the video, please
Wonderful information!Thank you so much.
just watch the documentary about Buddha so you don’t have to watch this have common sense thanks for the video anyway sending positive energy
Thank you so much..NAMASTE.
Great presentation, lots of thanks
Thank you so much! ❤️🙏❤️☸️
❤ from Bhutan 🇧🇹
please note that all buddhas have achieved enlightened , thus they will have a perfect form, so all buddhas look the same, you can have a statue of amitabah, but if you are thinking of shakyamuni, it will be the same please correct me if im wrong, speaking from a mahayana buddhist point of view.
