A Visage of Compassion and Healing

This exquisite brass statue depicts the Medicine Buddha, a divine manifestation embodying the healing power of all Buddhas. In Buddhist tradition, Bhaiṣajyaguru, as he is known in Sanskrit, is the Buddha of healing and medicine. He is revered for his ability to alleviate suffering, both physical and mental, and to guide beings towards spiritual enlightenment and freedom from the cycle of rebirth. Legends tell of the Medicine Buddha making twelve great vows to liberate all sentient beings from illness and to lead them to enlightenment. His serene countenance, depicted here with closed eyes and a gentle smile, radiates a profound sense of peace and compassion, inviting contemplation and inner tranquility.

Symbolism and Craftsmanship

The posture of the Medicine Buddha is significant. He is seated in the vajra posture, a symbol of stability and enlightenment, with his legs crossed in a meditative pose. His left hand rests in his lap, palm upwards, in the gesture of meditation (dhyana mudra), often holding a bowl of medicinal herbs. His right hand, resting on his right knee, is in the gesture of bestowing boons or healing (varada mudra), with the palm facing outward, symbolizing his readiness to grant healing and blessings. The intricate detailing of his robes, adorned with vibrant blue and red inlays, not only enhances the visual appeal but also symbolizes the richness of his compassion and the various medicinal properties he embodies. The base of the statue, a lotus throne, is a universal symbol of purity and enlightenment, signifying that the Medicine Buddha's teachings arise from a pure and untainted source.

A Testament to Indian Artistry

Handmade in India, this brass statue is a testament to the country's rich heritage of religious art and craftsmanship. The skilled artisans have meticulously shaped the brass, imbuing it with a lustrous glow that reflects the divinity it represents. The inlay work, featuring carefully placed blue and red stones, adds a touch of regal beauty and symbolic depth. The choice of brass is traditional for deity sculptures, known for its durability and ability to be cast and finished with remarkable detail. Each element, from the delicate rendering of his features to the textured folds of his garments, speaks of a dedication to preserving ancient artistic traditions while creating an object of profound spiritual significance. This piece is more than just a decorative item; it is a conduit for spiritual practice, a reminder of the presence of healing and compassion in the world, and a beautiful expression of faith.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?

Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.

In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
