Shakyamuni Buddha statue is depicted with heart Sutra, Buddha depicted in Varada Mudra.
Some 2,500 years ago, Siddhartha Gautama, a prince of the royal
Shakya Clan of Nepal, meditated under the bodhi tree (a type of fig
tree) in the Indian town of Bodh Gaya (in eastern India) and attained
enlightenment. Gautama Buddha is often called the Shakyamuni Buddha
because of his lineage. Heart Sutra is a popular Mahayana Sutra known
for its brevity and depth of meaning.
The Buddha's hands are in Varada Mudra. This mudra denotes the act of charity and benevolence, with the associated emotions of sincerity and compassion.
