The Earth-Touching Gesture of Enlightenment

This magnificent brass sculpture captures the profound moment of the Buddha's enlightenment, a pivotal event in Buddhist history. The posture depicted is the *Bhumisparsha Mudra*, the Earth-Touching Gesture. Legend tells us that as Siddhartha Gautama meditated under the Bodhi tree, he was tempted by Mara, the embodiment of illusion and desire, who sent his forces to disrupt his path to enlightenment. Siddhartha, unmoved, extended his right hand and touched the earth, calling upon the earth goddess, Bhumi, to witness his virtuous deeds and affirm his right to attain Buddhahood. The earth itself is said to have trembled, and Mara and his army were vanquished. This gesture symbolizes unwavering determination, the triumph of wisdom over ignorance, and the connection between the awakened mind and the fundamental nature of reality.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Symbolism

Crafted from high-quality brass, this statue is a testament to exceptional artistry. The robe of the Buddha is adorned with intricate, detailed carvings that catch the light and add a sense of regal splendor. The patterns are not merely decorative; they often represent auspicious symbols, floral motifs, and sometimes even mandalas, each carrying layers of spiritual significance within Buddhist traditions. The subtle patina and the rich golden hue of the brass evoke a sense of antiquity and reverence, inviting contemplation and spiritual reflection. The serene expression on the Buddha's face, with downcast eyes, conveys a deep sense of inner peace and boundless compassion, a hallmark of his enlightened state.

A Beacon of Peace and Wisdom

The presence of such a statue in your home or meditation space can serve as a constant reminder of the Buddha's teachings and the path to inner peace. It is more than just an object of art; it is a focal point for mindfulness, meditation, and the cultivation of positive qualities such as patience, compassion, and wisdom. The *Bhumisparsha Mudra* specifically encourages us to ground ourselves in truth and to stand firm in our convictions, even when faced with challenges. This piece, with its imposing presence and spiritual depth, is designed to inspire tranquility and foster a deeper connection to Buddhist philosophy and its enduring legacy. It is a beautiful representation of a transformative moment, beautifully rendered in durable and lustrous brass.

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.
