The Divine Healer: Embodiment of Compassion

This exquisite brass statue captures the serene and benevolent presence of the Medicine Buddha, a divine bodhisattva revered in Mahayana Buddhism. Known in Tibetan as Sangye Menlha, he is the celestial physician who embodies the healing aspect of all Buddhas. Legend tells of his vows, made in a past life as a prince, to alleviate the suffering of all sentient beings, particularly from the three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance, which are seen as the root of all illness. His presence is meant to inspire hope, offer solace, and promote physical and spiritual well-being. ––––––––––

Artistry and Iconography

Crafted with meticulous detail in India, this handmade statue showcases the rich artistic traditions associated with Buddhist iconography. The primary material, brass, lends a warm, enduring glow to the deity, symbolizing purity and longevity. The intricate inlay work, featuring vibrant stones of deep blue, ruby red, and emerald green, adds a striking visual dimension. These colors are not merely decorative; they often hold symbolic meanings in Buddhist art. Blue can represent the vastness of the mind and the healing qualities of the sky, while red and green can symbolize compassion, vitality, and the flourishing of life. The Buddha is depicted in the characteristic lotus position (padmasana), signifying spiritual attainment and perfect balance. ––––––––––

Symbolic Gestures and Attributes

The Medicine Buddha is often shown with a particular mudra (hand gesture) and an accompanying vessel. In this representation, his left hand rests in his lap, palm facing upwards, cradling a bowl filled with medicinal herbs, the symbolic representation of his healing powers. This bowl, often called the alms bowl, contains the

Arura

fruit, a potent medicine in Ayurvedic and Tibetan traditions, representing the cure for all ailments. His right hand is extended downwards, palm outward, in the gesture of

Varada Mudra

, the boon-granting or wish-fulfilling gesture, signifying his readiness to bestow blessings and offer protection from sickness and suffering. The serene expression on his face, with half-closed eyes, conveys a profound sense of inner peace and detached wisdom, inviting contemplation and inner healing. ––––––––––

A Beacon of Hope and Tranquility

This statue is more than just an artistic object; it is a powerful symbol of healing, compassion, and spiritual enlightenment. Placing it in your home or meditation space can serve as a constant reminder of the Medicine Buddha's benevolent power and the aspiration to overcome physical and mental afflictions. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Buddhist art and its ability to inspire peace and well-being across cultures and generations, a truly cherished piece for any devotee or admirer of sacred art.

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.
