"Between
two worlds, life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's
verge." - Lord Byron
Crafted
with care, the Tibetan
Buddhist sculpture embodies the delicate balance between Samsara
(worldly existence) and Nirvana
(spiritual liberation). The intertwined figures symbolize the intricate
dance of duality, transcending both pleasure and pain. Lotus petals underfoot
signify purity amidst life's muck. Each gesture narrates the story of
existence's perpetual ebb and flow. The sculpture's brass form becomes a
tactile journey into the realm of union, where opposites harmonize in a cosmic
embrace.
Literally Bhumisparsha translates into 'touching the earth'. It is more commonly known as the 'earth witness' mudra. This mudra, formed with all five fingers of the right hand extended to touch the ground, symbolizes the Buddha's enlightenment under the bodhi tree, when he summoned the earth goddess, Sthavara, to bear witness to his attainment of enlightenment.
The right hand, placed upon the right knee in earth-pressing mudra, and complemented by the left hand-which is held flat in the lap in the dhyana mudra of meditation, symbolizes the union of method and wisdom, samasara and nirvana, and also the realizations of the conventional and ultimate truths. It is in this posture that Shakyamuni overcame the obstructions of Mara while meditating on Truth.
