A Beacon of Healing and Compassion

This exquisite brass sculpture depicts the revered Medicine Buddha, known in Sanskrit as Bhaisajyaguru. He is a celestial Buddha, the master of healing and the embodiment of the ultimate medicine that cures all forms of suffering, both physical and mental. In Buddhist traditions, the Medicine Buddha is invoked for healing, longevity, and the eradication of illness and ignorance. His presence is believed to bring forth a powerful radiance of healing energy, capable of dispelling the darkness of disease and affliction. The lore surrounding the Medicine Buddha speaks of him as one of twelve great bodhisattvas who vowed to help all sentient beings who called upon them. Each of these vows was focused on alleviating suffering in specific ways, with the Medicine Buddha's primary vow being to eliminate the diseases of all beings and to guide them towards enlightenment. He is often depicted holding a medicinal plant or a bowl of medicinal nectar, symbolizing his ability to heal and to bestow the elixir of immortality. This statue captures that essence, with the tranquil yet powerful posture conveying a sense of profound peace and boundless compassion.

Artistry and Sacred Symbolism

Crafted from high-quality brass, this statue showcases the meticulous skill of Indian artisans. The warm, lustrous sheen of the brass embodies the purity and enlightenment of the Medicine Buddha. The intricate detailing, from the serene expression on his face to the delicate folds of his robes, speaks to a deep understanding of Buddhist iconography. The robes themselves are adorned with a captivating inlay of vibrant blue and red stones, bordered by intricate golden patterns. The blue stones, often representing lapis lazuli, evoke the boundless sky and the vastness of consciousness, while the red stones, akin to coral, symbolize life force and vitality. This combination further enhances the spiritual and aesthetic appeal of the deity. The posture of the Medicine Buddha in this representation is significant. He is shown seated in a meditative pose, often the lotus position, with his right hand resting on his knee, palm facing outward in the gesture of boon-granting (varada mudra), or sometimes extended towards the earth. His left hand typically rests in his lap, holding an alms bowl filled with the nectar of immortality, or the medicinal plant Arura. This statue, with its peaceful countenance and the symbolic gesture of healing, serves as a powerful reminder of the inherent potential for well-being and spiritual liberation that resides within us all.

A Touch of Spiritual Heritage

This statue is not merely an object of art; it is a conduit for spiritual energy and a beautiful representation of a profound spiritual tradition. Its presence can transform any space into a sanctuary of peace and healing. Whether placed in a home altar, a meditation room, or as a decorative element in a living space, it invites contemplation and fosters an atmosphere of serenity. The tradition of crafting such sacred images in India dates back millennia, with each piece carrying the lineage of skilled craftsmanship and devout intention. This handmade piece, originating from India, is a testament to this enduring heritage, offering a tangible connection to the wisdom and compassion of the Medicine Buddha for your personal practice or as a meaningful gift.

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.
