The poignant Buddhist legend unfolds the timeless tale of Avalokiteśvara's unwavering vow to liberate all sentient beings from the ceaseless cycle of sasāra. Despite tireless efforts, it became clear that numerous souls still languished in suffering. Overwhelmed by the magnitude of this task, Avalokiteśvara's heart remained resolute, but his head began to split into eleven pieces.


In a moment of divine compassion, Amitābha extended his benevolent hand. He granted Avalokiteśvara not one, but eleven heads, each capable of hearing the anguished cries of the suffering. With this newfound insight, Avalokiteśvara endeavored to reach out to those in need, only to discover that his two arms could not bear the weight of this immense task.


Amitābha, ever merciful, once again intervened. He bestowed Avalokiteśvara with a thousand arms, equipping him to extend boundless compassion to the multitudes in distress. This sacred tale reminds us of the boundless capacity for compassion and the unwavering commitment to alleviate the suffering of all sentient beings.

Embodiment of Boundless Compassion

This magnificent brass statue captures the essence of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, in his awe-inspiring eleven-headed, thousand-armed form. This manifestation, known as Sahasrabhuja Sahasranetra, embodies the Bodhisattva's boundless capacity to perceive and alleviate the suffering of all sentient beings. Each of the thousand hands, represented here by the artist's meticulous craftsmanship, is poised to extend aid, offer solace, and bestow blessings. The eleven heads, stacked one above the other, symbolize the various stages of enlightenment and the wisdom required to understand the complexities of existence. This form of Avalokiteshvara is a powerful visual metaphor for omniscience and omnipotence in the service of compassion. ––––––––––

A Testament to Divine Presence

The eleven heads signify the eleven stages of purification of the mind as one progresses on the path to Buddhahood. The uppermost head, often depicted as Amitabha Buddha, represents the ultimate wisdom and the source of compassion. The multiple faces allow Avalokiteshvara to perceive all directions, ensuring that no plea for help goes unheard. The thousand arms are not merely physical appendages but represent the innumerable skillful means Avalokiteshvara employs to guide beings towards liberation. The central pair of hands, held in the Añjali Mudra (prayer or greeting gesture), signifies profound respect and the readiness to engage with all beings. This intricate portrayal conveys a deep spiritual narrative, inviting contemplation on the nature of compassion and the path to enlightenment. ––––––––––

Artistry and Sacredness

Handmade in India, this exquisite brass statue is a masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship. The skilled artisans have imbued the metal with a spiritual vitality, evident in the serene expressions on each face and the dynamic arrangement of the numerous arms. The rich patina and intricate detailing speak to a dedication to preserving the sacred iconography of Tibetan Buddhism. The statue's commanding presence, standing at an impressive height, makes it a focal point for meditation, devotion, or as a statement piece of profound spiritual art in any sanctuary or home. Its creation is not merely an act of artistic expression but a sacred ritual, honoring the divine qualities it represents. ––––––––––

Echoes of Ancient Lore

In Buddhist lore, Avalokiteshvara is a central figure, a compassionate guide who vowed to remain in existence until all beings are liberated from suffering. It is said that when Avalokiteshvara witnessed the immense suffering in the world, his head split into eleven pieces out of grief, and Amitabha Buddha reformed them into the multiple heads to better perceive and understand this suffering. This eleven-headed, thousand-armed form is particularly revered in Tibetan Buddhism, where it is known as Chenrezig. This statue serves as a tangible link to these ancient narratives and a powerful reminder of the benevolent forces that watch over us.

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.
