The Azure Healer: Embracing the Essence of Medicine Buddha

This exquisite brass statue embodies the serene and compassionate presence of Medicine Buddha, known in Tibetan as Sangye Menla. Revered as the Buddha of Medicine, he is a central figure in Mahayana Buddhism, invoked for healing both physical and mental ailments, and for bringing forth purity and the cessation of suffering. In Buddhist cosmology, Medicine Buddha presides over the Eastern Pure Land of the Lapis Lazuli Light, a realm of perfect peace and effortless healing. Tales recount his vow to help all sentient beings overcome sickness and ignorance, making him a beacon of hope and a source of boundless compassion. ––––––––––––––––––

Artistry and Symbolism

Crafted with remarkable detail and devotion in India, this eight-inch statue is a testament to traditional Indian brasswork. The figure of Medicine Buddha is depicted in the traditional yogic posture, seated serenely on an ornate lotus pedestal. The lotus, a universal symbol of purity, enlightenment, and spiritual awakening, rises majestically, its petals unfurling to support the divine presence. The rich, deep blue inlay adorning his monastic robes evokes the precious lapis lazuli, the gemstone associated with Medicine Buddha's pure land and his profound wisdom. This striking contrast with the warm golden hue of the brass creates a visual harmony that is both striking and deeply meaningful. ––––––––––––––––––

The Emblems of Healing

In his left hand, resting in his lap, Medicine Buddha holds a begging bowl overflowing with medicinal herbs. This symbolizes his boundless ability to provide healing remedies for all afflictions. His right hand is extended, palm upwards, in the gesture of *Varada Mudra*, the gesture of bestowing boons and blessings, or alternatively, in the *Abhaya Mudra*, signifying protection and fearlessness. In this representation, he also holds aloft a branch of the *Udumbara* flower, another potent symbol in Buddhism often associated with auspiciousness and the eventual enlightenment of beings. The intricate inlay work extends to the base of the statue, adorned with vibrant red and green stones, further enhancing its visual appeal and symbolic richness. Each element, from the posture to the attributes, is carefully rendered to convey the sacred power and benevolent energy of Medicine Buddha. ––––––––––––––––––

A Sacred Centerpiece

This handmade brass statue serves not merely as a decorative object, but as a powerful focal point for meditation, prayer, and contemplation. Its presence can imbue any space with an aura of peace, healing, and spiritual well-being. As an artifact of significant cultural and religious importance, it connects the admirer to centuries of Buddhist tradition and artistry. The choice of brass, a metal known for its durability and its capacity to be molded into intricate forms, ensures that this sacred representation will endure, offering solace and inspiration for generations to come. It is a divine embodiment of healing and a reminder of the interconnectedness of all beings.

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.
