There have been a lot of beliefs among the followers of the Buddhists and the non followers of the religion that the statue of Buddha should be given or taken more as a gift rather than keeping it for you. This belief is more of a myth than a truth. Because, for Buddhists, the Buddha statuesdo not represent the Buddha's physical traits, they depict the teachings and the principles of theBuddha, on the basis of which the religion of Buddhism was founded. As the Buddhists do not worship or take the statues as the god but they take the Buddha and his statues as a symbol of peace and inspiration for the compassion and focus they have as the Buddhists. Similarly, there are other beliefs which contradict the aforementioned myth such as the Buddha statues are more taken as the representation of the good luck and the inner truth of life. These statues are taken as the symbolic representation of the bringer of good luck, prosperity, happiness and compassion. That is why Buddha statues are a common sight in many places like restaurants, offices, homes, hotels and other public locations in many Buddhist regions in the world, particularly in Asian countries like Nepal, China, Japan, Burma, Thailand, Sri Lanka and many more. Only through compassion, one can ever be successful in letting go of life’s suffering. So, we can clearly say that the Buddha statues are not just for the gifts, not that Buddha statues cannot be taken as gifts, but they can be purchased for our own satisfaction too.
