Small Buddhist monk statue

The meaning of a small Buddhist monk statue

This decorative object is ideal for creating a Zen atmosphere promoting relaxation and meditation. By placing this small Buddhist monk statue on a piece of furniture or in a room dedicated to relaxation, you will transform your home into a true haven of peace.

These statuettes bear the effigy of Buddhist monks, so we find a shaved head and a kesa (the orange robe worn by the monks). Do you know why Buddhist monks shave their heads? This is simply to symbolize their detachment from symbols of wealth and material possessions.

In fact, Buddha shaved his hair when leaving his palace. Buddhist monks therefore follow the same ritual in order to perhaps access enlightenment and awakening.
