Over the years the 38 inch tall Buddha head fountain has been one of our most popular outdoor garden water features and can be used as a working Buddha head fountain simply by connecting a pump to the tube beneath the sculpture, or displayed as a standalone Buddha head statue, setting it up as a fountain is not mandatory.
Setup could not be easier. This Buddha head garden fountain comes with a catch basin and a rubber hose underneath that easily attaches to a submersible pump, simply attach the pump, fill with water, and turn it on.
The Buddha has sea shell shaped curls for hair, a circular urna or third eye on the forehead, long earlobes from wearing heavy gold earrings in his youth as a prince, and a slight compassionate smile adorning his lips, classic features of traditional Buddhist sculpture.

How to Use the 38 Inch Buddha Head Fountain?

This 38 inch Buddha head fountain can be used as a working outdoor garden fountain or as a non-fountain Buddha head statue. If you want to use it as a fountain, simply connect a hose to the bottom opening that flows up to an opening on the top of the Buddha's head. No complicated plumbing is required.

The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow. His earlobes are stretched long from his youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings. He has a circular urna or third eye on his forehead, a traditional symbol of wisdom and enlightenment in Buddhist iconography.

If you purchase the Buddha head fountain and would like to use it as a fountain, here are a couple of basic setup requirements:

The only piece of equipment you will need is a submersible water pump. Here is a pump you can buy on Amazon that works with this Buddha head fountain.
In order for the water pump to work you will need a power source nearby.
You will not need a constant supply of water. The basin can be filled as needed as the water will naturally evaporate.

Why Do Customers Choose This 38 Inch Buddha Head Fountain with a Basin?

At 38 inches tall and with a 40 inch wide catch basin, this Buddha head water feature is one of our most accessible sizes, substantial enough to make a real statement in a garden, courtyard, or patio, while being slightly easier to position than our larger 50 inch and 5 foot Buddha head fountain versions. The self-contained basin design makes the fountain setup especially straightforward: no pond, no external reservoir, no complicated plumbing. Customers frequently choose this size for home garden focal points, meditation garden water features, covered outdoor patios, and zen landscaping projects. The volcanic stone surface weathers naturally outdoors, gaining a beautiful patina over time in both warm and cold climates.

How to Maintain Your 38 Inch Outdoor Buddha Head Fountain?

Maintenance is minimal. Rinse the volcanic stone surface periodically with clean water to clear dust, pollen, or algae. Clean the submersible pump filter every few months to maintain a steady water flow. In freezing climates, drain the catch basin before winter to protect the stone from cracking. With basic care, this Buddha head garden fountain will remain a serene and striking outdoor water feature for many years.

"The statue chooses you.

You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."

~ Kyle Tortora, Founder, Lotus Sculpture ~

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change."
~ Buddha~

The Buddha, whose original name was Siddhartha Gautama, was the founder of Buddhism, the religion and the philosophical system that produced a great culture throughout much of southern and eastern Asia. Buddha, meaning "awakened one" or "enlightened one" is a title not a name. In Hindu Dogma, the Buddha is viewed as being the 9th avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu.
The Buddha was a son of the rulers Sakyas. He was married at the age of 16 and lived in luxury and comfort sheltered from the harsh realities of life. When he was 29 he realized that men are subject to old age, sickness and death. He became aware of the suffering inherent in existence. He resolved to give up princely life and become a wandering ascetic (samana) in search for the Truth.
With the two of samanas he attained mystical states of elevated consciousness but he failed to find the Truth. He continued his search and was joined by five ascetics in a grove near Uruvela, where he practiced sever austerities and self-mortification for six years. When he fainted away in weakness, he abandoned ascetic practices to seek his own path to Enlightenment. Discarding the teachings of his contemporaries, through meditation he achieved Enlightenment, or ultimate understanding. There after the Buddha instructed his followers in the dharma (truth) and the "Middle Way" a path between worldly life and extremes of self-denial.
The essence of the Buddha's early preaching was said to be the four Noble truths: 1) life is fundamentally disappointment and suffering. 2) suffering is a result of one's desires for pleasure, power, and continued existence; 3) to stop disappointment and suffering on must stop desiring; and 4) the way to stop desiring and thus suffering is the Noble eight fold path - right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right awareness and right concentration. The realization of the truth of anatman (no eternal self) was taught as essential for the indescribable state of release called nirvana.

You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.

Soap and warm water is the best way to maintain the statue. You can use a small brush to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.
