Buddha statues are typically depicted in a meditation pose (lotus pose) or as a standing figure. These statues symbolize a life seeking peace, wisdom, and understanding in alignment with his teachings. In spiritual practices, the Buddha statue is used to remind of the power of meditation and promote inner balance. Additionally, it is commonly found as a decorative or meditative tool in homes or temples.
