DescriptionSakyamuni Buddha.jpg
English: During his life time the historical buddha specifically requested his likeness not be recorded in idolatrous form . This is a photograph I took of the statue of the Tibetan deity/archetype Sakyamuni Buddha in the TawangGompa in Arunachal Pradesh, India. It is a 8 metre gilded statue, the most important feature of the Gompa. The Sakyamuni Buddha was the earliest form of the Buddha to be worshipped in India. This form shows the Buddha in the moment he reached enlightenment, as depicted by the "ground-touching" position.
