Q: Origin of Buddha Image/Statue?
A: After Buddha’s enlightenment, he went to Heaven to teach the Dharma to his deceased mother. During Buddha’s absence from the human world, King Udayana of Kausambi thought of the Buddha day and night. In order to relieve himself of the longing that he had, the king commissioned an artist to carve a five foot tall figure of the Buddha in sandalwood. It is believed that this is the first Buddha image/statue

In ordinary life, we are under the power of disturbing emotions such as self-importance, anger, and desire. We have no control over these emotions, so they torment us and we suffer. We are their slaves, which is unpleasant. The purpose of the Dharma is to reverse that situation and to help us master the disturbing emotions - self-cherishing, pride, desire, anger and hatred - that enslave us. Being a master is much better than being a slave. Do not lose sight of this essential point: The aim of the Dharma is to get rid of disturbing emotions, and this is the only way to attain true happiness.
