A perennial source of spiritual inspiration
and Nirvana (enlightenment) - Buddha
Shakyamuni presents an impression of Dhayana as he sits in the yogic
Padmasana, smiling gently with his lotus-shaped eyes closed. Seated on an
almost gibbous moon disc carried by a double-layered Padma plinth. He holds a
bowl right below his chest - signifying compassion and benevolence while his
other hand in the Vitarka
Mudra communicates the transmission of intellectual divinity to his
disciples\devotees. Made in exclusive Nepalese brass, the multicolored inlay
work of this idol is exquisite and fine!
Embodiment of Teaching and Dispelling Fear
This magnificent, large brass statue captures the serene presence of the Buddha in the Vitark Mudra, a gesture universally recognized as symbolizing the transmission of teachings and the dispelling of fear. The raised right hand, palm facing outwards, signifies assurance and protection, inviting contemplation and offering wisdom. The left hand rests gently in the lap, cradling a traditional alms bowl, a reminder of the Buddha's humble beginnings and his renunciation of worldly possessions to seek enlightenment for all beings.A Symphony of Color and Craftsmanship
The statue is a testament to exceptional artistry, rendered in lustrous brass and adorned with intricate inlay work. The Buddha's flowing robes are a canvas of vibrant color, meticulously decorated with a mosaic of small, flower-like patterns in shades of red, blue, and white. This intricate detail draws the eye and speaks to the dedication and skill of the artisans. The lotus throne upon which the Buddha sits is equally ornate, with layered petals embellished with turquoise and coral-like hues, creating a stunning visual harmony. The dark, coiled hair, representing the Buddha's spiritual attainment, is subtly highlighted, adding to the overall richness of the piece.
The Lotus Symbolism
The lotus, a recurring motif in Buddhist art and philosophy, holds profound significance. It symbolizes purity, spiritual awakening, and detachment from the earthly realm. Just as the lotus rises from the muddy depths to bloom beautifully above the water's surface, the Buddha's teachings guide individuals to transcend suffering and attain enlightenment, emerging with a pure and liberated mind. This statue, with its elaborately decorated lotus base, serves as a constant reminder of this transformative journey.A Presence of Peace and Wisdom
Standing at an impressive height, this Buddha statue is designed to be a commanding and inspiring centerpiece in any sacred space, meditation room, or home. Its substantial presence emanates an aura of tranquility, inviting calm and mindfulness into your environment. The combination of the golden brass, the vibrant inlay, and the profound symbolism of the Vitark Mudra creates a powerful visual representation of the Buddha's compassion, wisdom, and unwavering serenity. It is more than just a decorative object; it is an invitation to connect with a timeless spiritual tradition and to cultivate inner peace.
