“Realizing Nirvana” – Pang Sai Yat
“Realizing Nirvana” – Pang Sai Yat
The Tuesday Buddha image is lying on his right side, head resting on his arm, toes even. While the Lord Buddha was staying at Savatthi, there was an arrogant evil named Asura Rahu.
He was so gigantic and didn’t pay respect to the Lord Buddha. So the Lord Buddha made himself bigger than the evil, in reclining position as to lower the pride of Asura Rahu. Seeing so, the evil succumbed and agreed to accept the teaching of the Lord Buddha.

Pang Umbat
The Buddha image for Wednesday is standing and holding an alms bowl with both hands. It indicates the time Buddha returned to see his father after four years in his ministry.
In the early morning, monks make their alms rounds to collect food. Buddha did the same, and his father was appalled that Buddha was “begging” for food. Buddha calmed his father, informing him that the lineage of Buddhas was to perform ‘Pindabat’ to be available to followers who devotedly bring food.

The Thursday Buddha image is sitting in a full lotus position with soles upward and visible, the hands resting in the lap, right above left with all fingers extended, palms upward (the Dhyani Mudra). After receiving bundles of grass from Sotthiya, he scattered it and made it as seat under the Banyan tree.
He made a vow “Skin, sinew and bone may dry up as they will, my flesh and blood may dry in my body, but without attaining completed enlightenment, I will not leave this seat.” With his strong determination, he achieved enlightenment.

“Contemplating Buddha” – Pang Ram Pueng
“Contemplating Buddha” – Pang Ram Pueng
The Friday Buddha image is standing with both arms crossed over the chest with the right hand covering the left. A short period after the enlightenment, while the Lord Buddha stayed under the Banyan tree, he stated that it was too difficult for ordinary people to understand dharma and bring it into practices. He was discouraged from teaching the dharma.
This Dharma that I have found is profound, hard to see, hard to understand; it is peaceful, sublime, beyond the sphere of mere reasoning, subtle, to be experienced by the wise. But this generation takes delight in attachment, is delighted by attachment, rejoices in attachment, and as such, it is hard for them to see this truth, namely…nirvana. However, with his great mercy and loving – kindness, he clearly understood that living creatures possessed different habits just like nature of a lotus.

The Saturday Buddha image is sitting in a full lotus position in meditation on the coiled body of the Naga Muchalinda that uses its head as a cover against rain.

Buddha obtained enlightenment while sitting under a Bodhi tree (a large and very old Sacred Fig tree located in Bodh Gaya, about 100 km from Patna in the Indian state of Bihar).
