Golden Buddha (Foiled Journal)

Part of a series of exciting and luxurious Flame Tree Notebooks. Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, then foil stamped. And they're powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks and a solid magnetic side flap. These are perfect for personal use and make a dazzling gift. This example features Golden Buddha.

Like in many other statues of Buddha, the spiritual leader is shown in the lotus position used in meditation. As one of the basic teachings of Buddhism, meditation is a way of gaining insight into one’s mind and achieving inner calm. The practice has now spread widely, being utilised in yoga or even as a technique to reduce the effects of depression and anxiety.
