Description from the seller
Very beautiful and complete set of 8 gold-plated brass Buddha images. Purchased in Thailand in the late 1980s.
These Buddha images represent the days of the week. Only Wednesday is split into a morning and an evening.
The Buddha's of the week
• Monday (Buddha of Protection): A standing Buddha symbolizing peace, with the right hand raised and palm facing forward. It signifies seriousness, good memory, and a love of travel.
Tuesday (Buddha of the Truth): Lying on his right side, head resting on his hand. Symbolizes courage, activity, and broad interest.
• Wednesday Morning (Buddha of Humility): Standing with a begging bowl. Represents hard work, honesty, and dedication.
Wednesday Evening (Blessed Buddha): Sitting, with one open hand on the right knee. Represents humility, creativity, and artistic nature.
• Thursday (Buddha of Inner Peace): Sitting with hands in meditation. Characterized by kindness, honesty, and calmness.
Friday (Buddha of Communication): Standing with crossed arms in front of the chest. Represents ambition, sociability, and a cheerful character.
Saturday (Buddha of Knowledge): Sitting, with the right hand on the left knee. Symbolizes logical thinking, clarity, and a calm, withdrawn character.
• Sunday (Buddha of Freedom): Lying on his side. Depicts a carefree, wise character and popularity.
These 'Buddha's birthday' images are popular in Buddhist traditions and are believed to bring protection, prosperity, and happiness to those born on the corresponding day.
