Friday Buddhas

This posture represents a moment of deep reflection shortly after the Buddha attained Enlightenment. While standing under the Bodhi tree, he contemplated the profound and complex nature of the Dharma (his teachings). He initially felt that the truth he had discovered was too subtle and difficult for ordinary people to understand. However, through his great compassion, he realized that individuals have different levels of spiritual maturity—likened to lotuses at various stages of blooming—and decided to teach the world.
