Wooden Thai Buddha Statues | Hindu God Statues The Thai Buddha Statues showcased on Siiren are 100% fair trade and based around The Serene Samyaksam Buddha and the Meditating Pratyeka Buddha. Both of these Thai Buddha's strongly believe in something called nirvana. This is when your mind is totally free from emotion thus no anger, lust, desire, sadness, frustration, passion & ignorance consumes ones life. They believe once you achieve nirvana you will have the highest happiness possible. The happiness is not as you or I might imagine but in the form of enlightenment. The Samyaksam Thai Buddha believe in this so strongly they pass on all they have learned though their teachings to others so they too can achieve nirvana. The Pratyeka Buddha becomes silent once they have reached their nirvana as they do not wish to tell others what they have learnt. Thai Buddha's are not Gods as we are led to believe but simply guides. A type of Angel is a simpler way of explaining it. Each And every stone and wooden Thai Buddha statue we sell is a Genuine Hand carved item, meaning it has been carved with true spiritual meaning and passion by our Buddhist artists and not mass produced by machine in a factory.
