WEDNESDAY BUDDHA - The Gesture of Receiving Alms
1 oz Fine Silver Coin – Republic of Chad (République du Tchad)
 
The Wednesday Buddha depicts the serene act of Receiving Alms, symbolizing humility, gratitude, and the Buddha's lineage. Standing gracefully with heels pressed together, the Buddha holds an alms bowl at waist height, both hands gently wrapped around it. This iconic posture reflects when the Buddha visited his family after four years in the monastery.

Initially discontented by the sight of the Buddha “begging” for food, his father questioned this act. The Buddha explained that pindabat, or holding an alms bowl, is a tradition that allows disciples to offer their devotion through food, fostering a sense of giving and humility.
 
Those born on a Wednesday morning are known for their politeness, artistic nature, and emotional depth. They are often drawn to creative professions and embody a harmonious blend of empathy and artistry.
 
Struck in 1 oz of pure silver with a limited mintage of 399 pieces, this coin beautifully showcases the intricate details of the Buddha’s serene expression and the alms bowl, symbolizing the act of receiving with grace. Issued by the Republic of Chad, it is a stunning collectible and a meaningful gift representing gratitude and mindfulness.
 
Celebrate the tradition of giving and receiving with the Wednesday Buddha coin—a masterpiece of artistry and spiritual symbolism.
