Embodiment of Healing and Compassion

This exquisite brass statue depicts the Medicine Buddha, Bhaisajyaguru, a revered figure in Tibetan Buddhism. Known as the King of Lapis Lazuli Radiance, he is the Buddha of Medicine, embodying the healing power of all Buddhas. He presides over the Eastern Pure Land, Shambhala, and is invoked for the alleviation of suffering, both physical and mental. The serene expression and tranquil posture of this representation are a testament to his profound wisdom and boundless compassion. The intricate details, from the urna on his forehead symbolizing his omniscience to the curled hair representing his enlightened nature, are meticulously crafted, reflecting a deep understanding of Buddhist iconography.

Symbolism and Iconography

The Medicine Buddha is traditionally depicted seated in the lotus position, which signifies purity and enlightenment. In his left hand, he holds an alms bowl filled with the nectar of immortality, a symbol of his ability to cure all ailments. His right hand rests on his right knee, with the palm facing outwards, in the gesture of generosity (varada mudra), bestowing blessings and protection. Beside him, often shown on a lotus blossom, is a cluster of medicinal herbs, most notably the arura fruit, which represents the essence of healing. This statue captures these key symbolic elements, making it a powerful representation of the Medicine Buddha's spiritual and physical healing energies. The lotus base itself is a powerful symbol, rising from the muddy waters of samsara to bloom in pure enlightenment, mirroring the journey of awakening.

Artistic Craftsmanship and Cultural Significance

Handmade in India, this statue is a masterpiece of traditional brass casting. The artisans have poured their skill and devotion into every detail, creating a piece that is not only aesthetically beautiful but also spiritually charged. The rich, warm patina of the brass adds to its timeless appeal, suggesting the antiquity of the lineage it represents. In Tibetan Buddhist culture, such statues are not merely decorative objects; they are sacred vessels that hold divine energy. They serve as focal points for meditation, prayer, and devotion, helping practitioners to connect with the healing presence of the Medicine Buddha and cultivate inner peace and well-being. The presence of this deity is believed to ward off disease, prolong life, and bring spiritual healing. This magnificent statue serves as a tangible connection to this ancient tradition of healing and enlightenment, bringing a sense of tranquility and spiritual upliftment to any space it graces.

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.
