About our Buddha water features
There are four active designs in this collection, and all four are currently in stock. The range covers two different installation types. The Meditating and Serene fountains use cast stone and need separate pumps and reservoirs. The Ushnisha and Heavenly models are self-contained resin features. Their pumps, reservoirs and lighting are already fitted.
The cast stone models weigh 75-110kg and suit permanent garden positions. Their limestone-based surfaces develop a natural patina outdoors. The resin designs are easier to set up. The Ushnisha stands 760mm tall, while the Heavenly Buddha reaches 1520mm. Browse self-contained water features for more plug-in designs. See stone water features for more permanent fountains.
Why we chose this range
"The first choice is installation type. Choose self-contained resin when simple setup matters. Choose cast stone when you want a permanent feature. I prefer the Heavenly Buddha for a large focal point. The 1520mm height gives it enough presence across a lawn."

Choosing stone or self-contained resin
Cast stone fountains
Choose cast stone for weight, permanence and natural weathering. Allow space for a hidden reservoir and an outdoor pump.
Self-contained models
Choose resin for simpler setup. Fill the built-in reservoir, connect the supplied low-voltage pump and check the water level.
Matt's positioning tip
Place the feature where you can hear it from your usual seat. A distant feature often becomes visual background. Keep the base level and leave pump access clear. Read our placement, meaning and sizing guide before choosing the final position.

Frequently asked questions
Are Buddha water features self-contained?
Two models are self-contained; two need separate pumps and reservoirs. The Ushnisha and Heavenly models include their reservoirs. The cast stone fountains allow a custom reservoir installation.
What base does a Buddha water feature need?
Use a firm, level surface that cannot sink. Paving, concrete and compacted bases work well. Never place a 75-110kg stone fountain directly on soft soil.
Which is the largest Buddha water feature?
The Heavenly Buddha is the tallest at 1520mm. It measures 690mm wide and needs clear space around the cascade.
Can Buddha water features stay outside in winter?
Yes, but drain the reservoir before prolonged freezing weather. Disconnect and clean the pump. Follow the individual product's winter-care instructions.
Do Buddha water features include a pump?
Self-contained models include pumps; cast stone fountains do not. Match the separate pump to the chosen reservoir and required flow rate.
Where should I position a Buddha water feature?
Place it where you can hear the water from your seat. Keep the figure facing into the garden. Leave enough room for cleaning and topping up.
