Embodying Healing and Compassion

This exquisite brass statue depicts the Medicine Buddha, also known as Bhaisajyaguru, a celestial Buddha in Mahayana Buddhism. He is revered as the master of Vedic medicine, a physician who can alleviate suffering and heal all sentient beings. In Buddhist traditions, the Medicine Buddha is invoked for healing physical, mental, and spiritual ailments. He represents the ultimate physician, whose vows are to cure all diseases and guide sentient beings out of their ignorance, greed, and hatred. The visual iconography of the Medicine Buddha is rich with meaning. In this portrayal, he is seated in the lotus posture, a symbol of purity and enlightenment. His right hand rests on his right knee, palm outward, in the gesture of giving blessings and dispelling fears. His left hand cradles an alms bowl filled with the celestial medicinal herb Arura, symbolizing his healing powers. The serene expression on his face, with eyes gently closed in meditation, conveys profound peace and boundless compassion. The traditional urna, a swirl of hair on his forehead, and the cranial protuberance, representing his great wisdom, are also depicted with meticulous detail.

Artistry and Divine Presence

Crafted from high-quality brass, this statue showcases the intricate artistry of Nepalese artisans. The vibrant inlay work, featuring a mosaic of turquoise-colored stones and accents of deep red and amethyst hues, adorns his monastic robes and the base. These gemstones not only enhance the visual splendor of the statue but are also believed to carry their own energetic properties, further amplifying the aura of healing and protection. The textured depiction of the robes adds a sense of depth and realism, making the figure appear almost lifelike. The Medicine Buddha's presence is said to purify the environment and ward off negativities. In Tibetan Buddhism, the contemplation of the Medicine Buddha is a significant practice for overcoming illness and cultivating compassion for oneself and others. Legend has it that the Medicine Buddha, in a past life as a Bodhisattva, made twelve great vows, including the vow to eliminate all forms of suffering and sickness from the world. His teachings and emanations are believed to offer relief from the endless cycle of rebirth and the attendant suffering. Placing this sacred image in your home or meditation space can serve as a constant reminder of the power of healing, compassion, and mindful living. It is not merely an object of art but a conduit for spiritual practice and a source of solace and inspiration. Embrace the tranquil and benevolent energy of the Medicine Buddha, and invite profound healing and well-being into your life.

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.
