Fasting Buddha :

In Buddhism, there are a variety of attitudes towards different forms of fasting. The Buddha is known to have practiced extreme forms of fasting which led to his emaciation and to have famously abandoned it before his great awakening. Nevertheless, different forms of fasting are practiced in various Buddhist traditions.

Silver and Chocolate Oxidized
The Fasting Buddha features a captivating combination of partly silver plating and dark oxidation. This unique finishing technique combines the lustrous shine of silver with the rich, deep tones achieved through oxidation. In the process of creating this finish, selected areas of the Fasting Buddha are expertly silver-plated, creating a radiant and reflective surface that catches the light. The remaining areas are intentionally oxidized, resulting in a darkened patina that adds depth and character to the piece. Read More . . .

Ceramic Molding System
The Fasting Buddha has been crafted using the Ceramic mold casting process, a modern approach that provides an alternative to traditional methods such as the lost-wax system or rubber molding. Also referred to as ceramic molding, this technique involves the creation of a ceramic mold to cast the statue. The process begins by making a precise and detailed wax model of the desired sculpture. The wax model is then coated with layers of ceramic material, creating a sturdy mold. Once the mold is complete, it is fired in a kiln, causing the wax to melt and escape, leaving behind a cavity that perfectly replicates the original sculpture. Molten metal is then poured into the mold, allowing it to fill the cavity and take on the desired form. Once cooled and solidified, the ceramic mold is carefully broken away, revealing the final metal statue. Read More . . .

Fasting in early Buddhism and Theravada :

Buddhist monastics have traditionally followed the prtimoka rules outlined in the various Vinayas, all of which state that one must not eat after the noon meal. Instead, Buddhist texts state that this time should be used for meditation or sutra chanting. Infringing on this rule is considered a pcittika offense that must be confessed. This is not considered fasting, but rather a simple and moderate way of eating that is said to improve one's meditation and health. During special religious observance days, devout lay people will also follow this rule.

The Buddha's Middle Path refers to avoiding extremes of indulgence and self-mortification on the one hand. Prior to attaining nirvana, Shakyamuni followed a strict austerity and fasting regime that was common among the sramana religions of the time, according to early Buddhist texts. These austerities, which he shared with five other ascetics, did not result in spiritual advancement but did cause him to become so emaciated that he could barely stand.

He attained awakening only after abandoning the practice of harsh asceticism, including extreme fasting, and instead focusing on the practice of meditation and jhana. As a result of this experience, the Buddha criticized the fasting practiced by Indian ascetics of his time, such as Jains, who believed that fasting burned off bad karma.
