So, the defining attributes of a Buddhist monk or nun are their practice of poverty and detachment from the material world. Bhikkus were originally the nomadic disciples of the Buddha who left their homes and worldly occupations in order to meditate and apply the Buddha's teachings to their daily lives (6th century BC). Bhikkus typically lived in communities in forest retreats close to villages and cities; in exchange for sustenance, the monks educated the locals about Buddhist virtue (dhamma; Sanskrit: dharma). According to Buddhist sources, the Buddha first only allowed men to join the sangha, or community of monks but eventually allowed women to take vows as well. The female monastic order, however, has never been as substantial as the male one.----------------------------------------------------------Size: 15cm(Height) and 6cm(Base)Weight: 0.606kgMaterial: Oxidized Copper Body, Acrylic Colours---------------------------------------------------------- How do take care of your statues? • Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching with the bare hand objects can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
