A Beacon of Healing and Compassion

This magnificent brass statue embodies the serene and compassionate presence of the Medicine Buddha, also known as Bhaisajyaguru. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Medicine Buddha is revered as the embodiment of all the Buddhas of the ten directions, a celestial physician who cures not only physical ailments but also the afflictions of the mind, such as greed, hatred, and delusion. His practice is believed to bestow blessings of health, longevity, and spiritual awakening. This particular rendition is a masterpiece of Indian craftsmanship, meticulously handcrafted from high-quality brass. The statue is adorned with exquisite inlay work, featuring vibrant turquoise and red stones, interspersed with hints of blue and green, adding a touch of opulence and symbolic depth. The rich colors are reminiscent of the precious jewels and medicinal herbs that are often associated with the Medicine Buddha and his celestial Pure Land, Vaiduryaprabha. The Medicine Buddha is depicted in his traditional meditative posture, seated in vajrasana (lotus position). His right hand rests on his knee, palm facing outward, in the gesture of bestowing blessings and fearlessness (abhaya mudra). His left hand cradles a medicine bowl, typically overflowing with the nectar of immortality and the potent herbs that symbolize his healing powers.

The Symbolism of the Medicine Buddha

The lore surrounding the Medicine Buddha is rich with tales of his vows and his profound dedication to alleviating suffering. It is said that in a past life, as a prince, he made twelve great vows, including the vow to eliminate the suffering of all sentient beings, to cure all diseases, and to guide them towards enlightenment. His followers chant his mantra, "Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Radza Samudgate Soha," with the intention of invoking his healing energy and purifying their own karma. The imagery of the Medicine Buddha is deeply rooted in Buddhist cosmology. He is often depicted with blue skin, symbolizing the infinite expanse of the sky and the boundless nature of his compassion. However, this brass representation, while not blue, radiates a warmth and luminosity that speaks to the inner radiance of his enlightened being. The intricate details of his urna (a spiral mark on his forehead, signifying his spiritual insight) and his ushnisha (a cranial protuberance, symbolizing his wisdom) are rendered with remarkable precision, showcasing the skill of the artisans. This substantial statue, with its commanding presence, is more than just an object of devotion; it is a powerful focal point for meditation and contemplation. It serves as a constant reminder of the potential for healing and transformation that lies within us all. Whether placed in a sacred space at home or in a dedicated shrine, this Medicine Buddha statue is sure to inspire peace, well-being, and spiritual solace. Its creation in India, a land steeped in spiritual tradition, further enhances its authenticity and its connection to the timeless wisdom of Buddhism.

Artistic Craftsmanship and Material Purity

The choice of brass for this sculpture is significant. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, has been historically valued in Indian art for its durability, malleability, and ability to hold intricate details. It is also associated with auspiciousness and prosperity in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. The smooth, polished surface of the brass catches the light beautifully, enhancing the divine aura of the deity. The inlay work is a testament to the patience and skill of the craftspeople. Each small piece of turquoise, lapis lazuli, coral, and other semi-precious stones is carefully cut, shaped, and set by hand, creating a mosaic of vibrant colors that not only adorns the robe and the lotus but also accentuates the divine form. The intricate patterns and designs that emerge from this meticulous process are visually captivating and add a layer of textural richness to the overall composition. The scale of this statue makes it a truly impressive piece, capable of dominating a room and drawing the gaze of all who enter. Its considerable size ensures that the fine details and the profound symbolism are appreciated from afar, making it a fitting centerpiece for any space dedicated to spiritual practice or aesthetic appreciation. The dedication to traditional techniques and the use of precious materials imbue this Medicine Buddha with an enduring spiritual and artistic value, making it a treasure for generations to come.

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.
