Image SamadhiStatue.JPG thumb right 300px Samadhi Buddharupa Buddha statue at Mahamevuna Park in Anuradhapura , Sri Lanka . The Samadhi Statue is a statue situated at Mahamevuna Park in Anuradhapura , Sri Lanka . The Buddha is depicted in the position of the Dhyana Mudra , the posture of meditation associated with his first Enlightenment, also called Nirvana. Whether the Buddha s Enlightenment was the experience technically called Samadhi , or some other phenomenon, may depend upon the philosophical allegiance of the believer. In the Dhyana Mudra the Buddha sits cross legged with his upturned palms placed one over the other on his lap. This position is universally known throughout the Buddhist world, and this statue is therefore one of the most typical pieces of Buddhist sculpture . It is not to be confused with the very similar Earth Touching Mudra, which depicts the simple action the Buddha took to fend off the illusions projected by Mara, who was desperate to prevent the Buddha from realizing that his, Mara s, projections, and with them the entire world, are an illusion. This statue is 8 feet in height and carved from granite. References von Schroeder, Ulrich. 1990 . Buddhist Sculptures of Sri Lanka . 752 p. 1620 illustrations .

Image Imperia Statue Konstanz Abend.jpg thumb left 140px The Imperia shows a woman holding two men on her hands. The two men represent Pope Martin V and Emperor Sigismund . Martin V was elected during the Council while Sigismund was the king who called the council. Both are naked except for the Crown headgear crown and papal tiara , respectively, they wear as symbols of their power. The statue refers to a short story by Balzac , La belle Imp ria . The story is a harsh satire of the Catholic clergys morals, where Imperia seduces cardinals and princes at the Council of Constance and has power over them all. The historical Imperia was a well educated Italian courtesan named Lucrezia de Paris who was born 1485 in Ferrara , well after the council, and never visited Konstanz.

Image Ka Statue of horawibra.jpg thumb The ka statue provided a physical place for the ka to manifest. A ka statue is a type of ancient Egypt ian statue intended to provide a resting place for the Egyptian soul ka , or spirit, of the person after death. The ancient Egyptians believed the ka or life force , along with the physical body, the name, the ba personality or soul , and the wt shadow , made up the five aspects of a person. After death, the ethereal aspects of the soul were believed to be released from the body, free to roam the earth, but required the physical body or a surrogate, such as the ka statue, to return to as a permanent home. The hieroglyph representing the ka is composed of a pair of upraised arms, and is sometimes depicted on top of the head of the statue to reinforce its intended purpose. Ka statues could also be set up as a type of memorial for the deceased in absentia for example in Abydos, Egypt Abydos hundreds were set up to allow the dead to participate in the yearly festivals commemorating the resurrection of Osiris . ref Oakes 2003 p. 162 ref Hiero ka hiero D28 hiero align left era default Ka statues were usually carved from wood or stone and sometimes painted in the likeness of the owner to reinforce the spiritual connection and preserve the person s memory for eternity.
