Buddhism is a tradition that focuses on personal spiritual development. Buddhists strive for a deep insight into the true nature of life and do not worship gods or deities. Man's position in Buddhism is incomparable. Man is his very own lord and there is no higher being or power that sits in judgment over his predetermination. On the off chance that the Buddha is to be known as a "hero" by any stretch of the imagination, it is just as in he found and demonstrated the way to freedom, to Nirvana, the way we are welcome to pursue ourselves.The Seated Buddha of Gandhara is an early statue of the Buddha discovered at the site of Jamal Garhi in ancient Gandhara in modern-day Pakistan. There are many sculptures of the buddha throughout different parts of Asia.The statue was carved in schist, allowing very fine detail, even down to showing the fingernails. The pose, which was to become one of a number of standard ones, shows Buddha as a teacher setting the wheel of Dharma in motion .The statue was made in the 2nd or 3rd century and although Buddha lived in the 4th century before Christ this is still a quite early statue. Statues of the "enlightened one" were not made until the 1st century AD. For the first four hundred years after his death Buddha was represented by symbols alone such as his footprint.
