The Embodiment of Healing

Behold the serene visage of the Buddha, an exquisite representation of healing and compassion rendered in brass and adorned with intricate inlay. This statue, crafted with meticulous detail, portrays the Medicine Buddha, a central figure in Tibetan Buddhism revered for his power to alleviate suffering and bestow well-being. The statue captures the essence of enlightenment and the promise of liberation from sickness, both physical and mental. His gentle gaze invites contemplation and inspires inner peace.

The Lapis Lazuli Robe

The robe of the Buddha is inlaid with fragments of lapis lazuli, a stone of deep significance in many cultures, including those of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. In Tibetan Buddhist traditions, the color blue is associated with the Medicine Buddha, representing the purity of his enlightened body and the healing energy he emanates. Lapis lazuli, with its celestial blue hue, further amplifies this association, symbolizing wisdom, truth, and spiritual power. The mosaic-like arrangement of the lapis fragments creates a captivating visual texture, drawing the eye and inviting closer inspection of the fine craftsmanship. Embedded within the lapis robe, strategically placed accents of green and red further enhance the piece, adding a vibrant contrast to the dominant blue. These precious stone accents may be representative of the body's vital energy centers or chakras.

Depiction and Symbolism

The Medicine Buddha is depicted seated in the meditative posture, a symbol of stability and inner stillness. In his left hand, he holds a begging bowl filled with medicinal nectar, representing the remedies and blessings he offers to all beings. His right hand, extended downward in the Varada Mudra, symbolizes generosity and the granting of wishes. A sprig of the myrobalan plant is clutched between the fingers of his right hand. This is also a sign of his healing power, as the myrobalan plant is known for its medicinal qualities.

A Blessing for Your Home

Bringing this statue into your home creates a space for contemplation and healing, an intention towards promoting well-being for yourself and those around you. Each aspect of this statue is rich with symbolism, serving as a reminder of the potential for healing and inner peace that resides within us all. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or simply seeking a symbol of hope and comfort, this statue of the Medicine Buddha offers a profound connection to the healing power of compassion and enlightenment.

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.
