Description
This wonderful carving of the weeping Buddha or yogi statue has been documented for its meditation pose in many cultural traditions from ancient Egyptian to Native American.
Known simply as the weeping Buddha statue or yogi statue. These carvings are a truly wonderful gift for a friend or family member going through a tough time as they are said to help ease their troubles and help them through things.
The Story behind the legend of the weeping Buddha statue is as follows: In ancient times two warriors confronted each other in numerous battles. Both of them wore masks and never saw each other's face. After many such encounters the older warrior killed the younger one. Upon removing his mask he discovered he had killed his own long lost son. The Weeping Buddha is the warrior filled with sorrow. By touching the back of the Buddha one is supposed to pass all of your sorrow and troubles on to the weeping Buddha thus making life a little better for you.
