Buddha Sakyamuni

Buddha Shakyamuni: The Ultimate Medicine of the Sacred Dharma

In the heart of our Healing Rime Deity Garden, a sacred sanctuary honoring healing wisdom from around the world, we are deeply humbled to enshrine a Thai-style statue of Buddha Shakyamuni. More than a cultural or religious symbol, this image represents the supreme medicine—the Dharma—that alone can cure the deepest illness of all: the delusion of Samsara.

The Healer of All Healers

Over 2,600 years ago, Buddha Shakyamuni awakened to the profound truth of reality under the Bodhi tree. In that moment, he became the ultimate physician—not of the body, but of the mind. Seeing clearly the nature of suffering, its causes, and the path to liberation, he offered to the world a methodical path of healing rooted in wisdom, ethics, and meditative insight.

The Buddha’s teachings are not merely philosophies or moral codes—they are diagnoses and prescriptions for those caught in the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. The Four Noble Truths are a complete spiritual medicine cabinet:

• The truth of suffering (dukkha) as the disease,

• The cause of suffering (craving and ignorance),

• The cessation of suffering as the cure,

• And the Eightfold Path as the medicine to heal the soul.

A Thai-Style Statue with Timeless Significance

Our chosen statue of Buddha Shakyamuni in Thai style embodies a graceful and serene expression of the Enlightened One, capturing both the gentleness of loving-kindness and the unshakable clarity of awakened wisdom. Thai Buddhist art is renowned for its elegant lines and spiritual resonance, evoking both inner stillness and radiant presence.

By placing this image at the center of the Healing Rime Deity Garden, we are affirming that all physical, emotional, and energetic healing ultimately points toward one source: the transcendence of illusion and the awakening to truth.

The Garden’s Spiritual Heart

In a garden that celebrates sacred healing from many traditions, the statue of Buddha Shakyamuni serves as the spiritual heart—reminding all visitors that true healing must address the root, not just the symptoms. The Dharma is the only medicine capable of freeing us from the existential dis-ease of Samsara, the endless cycles of dissatisfaction born from ignorance and attachment.

This space invites all beings—regardless of background or belief—to rest in stillness, reflect on their inner suffering, and open to the liberating possibility of awakening. In the presence of the Buddha, may each of us remember that the highest healing is the realization of our true nature—luminous, boundless, and free.

This statue is intended to be white at 180cm tall.
