Buddha statue "The Resting Buddha"

This Resting Buddha is placed in a place where you can look at it calmly - so that it reminds you of the option to choose a moment of rest more often. This Buddha invites you to relax.
With this he shows that the spiritual path is not just about "doing your best" and "concentrated meditation", but that doing nothing and taking rest is also valuable and important. Because sometimes doing nothing, in silence, is more powerful than any action.
So, it is very wise to take it easy on yourself every now and then and take good care of yourself.

Can you buy a Buddha for yourself?

Of course. Buddha stands for personal wisdom, inner guidance, and following your own path.
In the Far East it is customary for someone to choose a Buddha statue themselves, because the face of the statue should appeal to you. In other words - choosing and buying a statue yourself ensures that you get the right Buddha statue for you, where you feel relaxed and comfortable.
In the West, there is a story going around that someone else should buy you a Buddha. That can and may be true, but it is not a hard truth. A Buddha statue is always a special and meaningful purchase, but feel free to buy it for yourself - a beautiful investment in your spiritual development, a motivation for more quality time with yourself and an asset to your interior.
