Symbolic Buddha statue against evil. The Orang Malu, literally translated as the 'shy man', is also called Yogiman or Crying Buddha and has an Indonesian and Indian origin. The unique thing about this statue, besides the tropical suar wood from which it is made, is the symbolism that the statue radiates. The introverted, meditating Buddha can be viewed from different angles. At first glance it looks like a crouched man in a kind of fetal position. The story behind this is that the man is ashamed of the evil and suffering in the world. When you look at the Buddha from the front, it is a statue of a laughing man, which symbolizes rebirth and goodness. When you look at the Buddha from behind, you see the shape of a human heart. In his heart he is happy and has found peace within himself. According to legend, you place the Orang Malu with its face towards the door. Visitors stroke the statue on the head when they enter, after which any bad thoughts are taken over. In this way, visitors always enter with good intentions.
