Embodiment of Compassion: The Shadakshari Lokeshvara Statue

This exquisite brass statue portrays Chenrezig, known in Sanskrit as Lokeshvara, in his Shadakshari form. Chenrezig is the Tibetan Buddhist bodhisattva of compassion, the male embodiment of Avalokiteśvara, and is considered the patron deity of Tibet. It is believed that the Dalai Lama is a reincarnation of Chenrezig. The name "Shadakshari" itself refers to the six-syllable mantra, "Om Mani Padme Hum," which is famously associated with this deity. This mantra is considered the essence of all Buddhist teachings, and reciting it is believed to purify negative karma and cultivate universal compassion. The artistry of this statue captures the serene and benevolent countenance of Chenrezig. He is depicted seated in a meditative posture, his legs crossed in the lotus position, emanating an aura of peace and tranquility. The multiple arms symbolize the boundless nature of compassion, able to reach out and help all sentient beings in countless ways. His primary hands are held together in a gesture of prayer (Anjali Mudra), indicating reverence and devotion, and are positioned at the heart, the seat of compassion. The other arms are held in various mudras and are adorned with symbolic objects, further elaborating his divine attributes and powers.

Symbolism and Divine Presence

The iconography of Shadakshari Lokeshvara is rich with meaning. The crown adorning his head signifies his enlightened status and supreme spiritual authority. The ornaments he wears, such as necklaces and bracelets, represent his mastery over the worldly elements, while his serene facial expression, with half-closed eyes, conveys deep meditative concentration and profound wisdom. The choice of brass as the material is significant in Buddhist traditions, often used for its durability and ability to hold intricate details, lending a sense of permanence and sacredness to the deity. In Tibetan lore, it is said that when Chenrezig's tears of compassion fell upon the earth, they formed the lake of Lhamo Latso, a sacred lake where high lamas can have visions of future reincarnations of the Dalai Lamas. This statue serves as a tangible representation of that all-encompassing empathy, a reminder to cultivate compassion in our own lives. Placing this sacred image in your home or meditation space can serve as a focal point for prayer, meditation, and the development of loving-kindness towards all beings. It is a conduit to connect with the spiritual energy of compassion and to invite its blessings into your life.

Chenrezig: The Embodiment of Compassion in Tibetan Buddhism

Out of all the deities of Avalokiteshvara in the Tibetan Pantheon of Buddhism, Chenrezig is the most renowned. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is believed to be an incarnation of this Bodhisattva, a living symbol of boundless compassion. Chenrezig is conceptualized and visualized in various forms, with many faces and arms. He sits on a full-blown lotus crossing his legs. He is usually depicted having four arms that represent the four immeasurables; Immeasurable Compassion, Immeasurable Kindness, Immeasurable Joy, and Immeasurable Equanimity. His two arms join together at the heart in a prayer position holding a wish-fulfilling gem in between. With his upper left arm, he holds a lotus flower and with his other right arm, he holds a crystal rosary (mala) which he uses to count the repetitions of the mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum”, which means “Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus, which is capable of liberating all beings from their suffering”. His meditation is practiced by all the great Buddhists in the lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He is always depicted clad in the clothes of a Bodhisattva and wears the skin of an antelope on his shoulders. Bearing a soft smile on his beautiful face, he looks down upon the sentient beings with his eyes full of love and compassion.

What does Chenrezig represent?

The Bodhisattva Chenrezig is seen as and considered the embodiment of compassion and enlightenment. He appears on earth and looks upon every living being with immense compassion in his eyes and benefits them by turning the wheel of enlightened activity. Scholars believe that although Chenrezig appears in the material world, he is not affected by the modes of material nature and always remains pure and stainless just as a lotus flower remains free from the stains of mud. Chenrezig has all the good qualities that a Buddhist practitioner wishes to develop within himself. Thus, those who meditate upon the image of Chenrezig, gradually awaken those same qualities in themselves.

Can we keep Chenrezig statue at home?

According to Buddhist followers, keeping the statue of Chenrezig at home is highly auspicious. You can keep the statue anywhere in your home; be it your living room, meditation room, or area of worship. Since Chenrezig is very merciful and empathetic toward all living beings, he guides and inspires us from within, to walk the path of spirituality or self-realization. If you wish for a life full of enlightenment, joy, and spiritual bliss, free from anxiety and perplexity, you may meditate upon the glorious form of Chenrezig and chant his name in complete silence until you experience your heart open and your mind peaceful.
