A Beacon of Healing and Compassion: The Medicine Buddha in Brass

This exquisite statue embodies the profound presence of the Medicine Buddha, also known as Bhaisajyaguru, a revered figure in Tibetan Buddhism. Crafted with meticulous detail from brass and adorned with vibrant inlays, this masterpiece stands as a powerful symbol of healing, serenity, and the eradication of suffering. The serene countenance of the Medicine Buddha, with eyes gently closed in meditation, exudes an aura of boundless compassion and wisdom. His urna, the curl of hair on his forehead, signifies spiritual insight, while his elongated earlobes represent his renunciation of worldly attachments. The posture of the Medicine Buddha in this rendition is deeply symbolic. Seated in the lotus position, a posture of meditation and spiritual attainment, he holds a medicine bowl in his left hand, often depicted containing the nectar of immortality or medicinal herbs, symbolizing his ability to cure the ailments of both the body and mind. In his right hand, which rests on his knee in the gesture of *varada mudra* (the gesture of bestowing boons), he holds a stem of the *ashoka* tree, or sometimes the *Artemisia indica* plant, both known for their medicinal properties. The intricate inlay work, featuring a mosaic of richly colored stones set against the lustrous brass, further enhances the visual appeal and spiritual significance of the deity. These colorful tessellations, reminiscent of precious jewels, speak to the treasures of wisdom and healing that the Medicine Buddha bestows.

Mythological Roots and Cultural Significance

The Medicine Buddha holds a central place in Mahayana Buddhism, particularly within the Tibetan tradition. He is not merely a divine physician but also a Bodhisattva, one who has attained enlightenment but chooses to remain in the world to alleviate suffering. Tales describe him as having made twelve great vows to liberate all beings from the cycle of suffering, particularly from sickness and its causes. His practice is believed to invoke his blessings for physical and mental well-being, protection from disease, and the attainment of liberation. The Medicine Buddha mantra, "Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Radza Samudgate So-ha," is chanted by devotees worldwide to invoke his healing energies. In Tibetan culture, images of the Medicine Buddha are often placed in homes, monasteries, and medical institutions, serving as a constant reminder of the path to healing and spiritual awakening. This finely crafted brass statue, a product of skilled Indian artisans, brings the potent essence of this sacred deity into your personal space, offering a tangible connection to ancient wisdom and a source of profound solace and inspiration. Its presence can serve as a focal point for meditation, prayer, or simply as a beautiful object to inspire peace and contemplation.

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.
