What is the purpose of the Buddha statue in Buddhist meditation?
Buddhist homes, centers, and temples often have statues and pictures of Buddhas and bodhisattvas. They are not holy objects to be venerated or worshipped. Instead, they are merely reminders to pay attention and keep the mind focused.A statue of Buddha is not necessarily a requirement of meditation, but its use does have history. Traditionally, when Buddhism was founded, many of its adherents were illiterate and thus depended on statues of Buddha in different poses in order to understand the various messages of the Buddha.
