An open-eyed, strikingly coloured seated Buddha murti would be a tasteful addition to your home or office. For the truly devoted, its healing energies, in addition to perfect workmanship unparalleled outside Exotic India, make this a must-buy.
Embodying Healing and Compassion
This exquisite brass statue depicts the Medicine Buddha, Bhaisajyaguru, a central figure in Mahayana Buddhism renowned as the Buddha of Medicine. Seated in the serene lotus posture, this magnificent representation radiates an aura of profound peace and healing. The vibrant, almost ethereal, red hue of the Buddha’s face and body symbolizes his immense compassion and the potent energy of his healing vows. This striking color is often associated with vitality, power, and the transformative force that can overcome illness and suffering.A Symbol of Well-being
The Medicine Buddha is revered as a master physician who can alleviate the suffering of all sentient beings. Legend has it that he made twelve great vows, including the vow to cure all diseases and to bring about the enlightenment of all beings through the practice of medicine. His left hand rests in his lap, cradling an alms bowl filled with the nectar of immortality and the medicinal herb *Arura*, symbolizing his ability to cure all ailments. His right hand is extended, palm outward, in the *abhaya mudra*, the gesture of fearless protection and reassurance, dispelling fear and granting blessings. The serene expression, with half-closed eyes, conveys a deep meditative state and an unwavering commitment to alleviate suffering. ––––––––––––––––––––Artistic Craftsmanship and Symbolic Colors
Crafted from durable brass, this statue is adorned with a striking juxtaposition of colors. The vibrant red is complemented by the serene blue of the Buddha’s monastic robe, a color often associated with purity, wisdom, and the boundless sky. The rich detailing of the golden trim on his robe and jewelry signifies his royal lineage and inherent divinity. The interplay of these colors, along with the subtle patina, evokes a sense of ancient wisdom and enduring spiritual power. This statue is not merely an object of art; it is a potent symbol of hope, healing, and the boundless potential for well-being that resonates throughout Buddhist traditions. It serves as a beautiful reminder of the path to inner peace and physical health, a tangible manifestation of the Medicine Buddha’s compassionate presence.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.
