Buddha made of brass, 12 cm

Buddha

"Buddha" is not a surname, as one might think, but an honorific title awarded only to those who have achieved enlightenment through their own insight. The man commonly referred to by this title is a historical figure. He likely lived between the 6th and 5th century BC in northern India and was named Siddhartha Gautama before his enlightenment. The doctrine (Dharma) he revealed, which has undergone various developments over the centuries, and the monastic order he founded are still alive today, recently energized by the active involvement of Tibetan lamas in the West.
