Hi, Everyone,

I'd like to ask for your kind help with finding out what kind of Buddha statue is to be seen on THIS video. Is it from a Theravada land? Is it Sakyamuni (or maybe Amitabha)?

I do not mean to hurt anyone' with this question, I just could not find a topic where to post this + you surely have the experise.

Thank you for your helop in advance,

Roni

I'm almost positive that is Amitabha - the mudra is the Mida no Jōin, which is rarely seen outside of Japan.

Hard to tell, but the face looks more traditionally Japanese too.

Are you looking for a Theravada statue?

Thank you. No, I was just curious aboout these ones (and I am a member of this forum and not Dharma Wheel). But if you know any commercially used Theravada statues the links are all welcome. :)
