The Embodiment of Healing and Compassion

This exquisite brass statue depicts the Medicine Buddha, also known as Bhaisajyaguru, a revered figure in Tibetan Buddhism. He is the Buddha of healing and medicine, who vowed to heal the sickness of sentient beings, to alleviate their suffering, and to guide them towards enlightenment. His image emanates a profound sense of peace and serenity, offering solace and inspiration to all who behold him. The intricate craftsmanship of this statue reflects the deep spiritual significance attributed to the Medicine Buddha in Buddhist traditions.

Symbolism and Sacred Attributes

The Medicine Buddha is typically depicted seated in a meditative posture, holding a bowl of medicinal herbs in his left hand and a stalk of the arjuna plant in his right. This statue embodies these sacred attributes, with the bowl symbolizing his boundless compassion and the arjuna plant representing his ability to cure all forms of suffering, both physical and mental. His serene expression and the gentle flow of his robes invite a sense of calm and mindfulness. The vibrant blue tiling, interspersed with striking red and blue inlays, not only enhances the visual appeal but also holds symbolic meaning. Blue, particularly lapis lazuli, is often associated with the heavens, wisdom, and healing in many cultures, while red can symbolize life force and vitality.

A Patron of Well-being

In Buddhist cosmology, the Medicine Buddha presides over the Eastern Pure Land, known as the Abode of Lapis Lazuli. He is said to have made twelve great vows to liberate beings from suffering. Devotees often chant his mantra, "Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Radza Samudgate Soha," to invoke his healing blessings, seeking relief from illness, obstacles, and the afflictions of the mind. The presence of this statue in your home or meditation space serves as a constant reminder of the path to well-being and spiritual purification. It is believed that dedicating oneself to the Medicine Buddha can lead to the cessation of all illnesses and the attainment of a healthy and fulfilling life, both in this existence and in future rebirths.

Artistry and Enduring Craftsmanship

This remarkable statue is meticulously crafted from high-quality brass, a material renowned for its durability and lustrous sheen, which deepens and enriches with age. The surfaces are adorned with a captivating mosaic of precisely cut blue tiles, artfully complemented by vibrant red and blue inlays. This technique adds a unique depth and textural dimension to the sculpture, highlighting its artistic merit. The meticulous inlay work, combined with the traditional iconography, makes this a truly exceptional piece, designed to be a cherished focal point for meditation, devotion, or as a statement of spiritual artistry in any sacred or secular space.

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.
