Embodying Healing and Compassion

This exquisite brass statue captures the serene and benevolent form of the Medicine Buddha, also known as Bhaisajyaguru. In Buddhist tradition, the Medicine Buddha is revered as the master of healing and the embodiment of all the Buddhas' healing qualities. He is believed to possess the power to cure all sentient beings of their illnesses, both physical and mental, and to liberate them from the cycle of suffering. This representation is not merely an artistic rendition but a sacred object intended to inspire contemplation and invoke blessings of well-being and peace. The statue depicts the Medicine Buddha in the traditional seated posture of meditation, the lotus position (Padmasana), symbolizing spiritual purity and enlightenment. His right hand is extended downwards, resting on his right knee, palm open and fingers pointing towards the earth. This gesture, known as the *varada mudra*, signifies the granting of boons and blessings, offering comfort and reassurance. In his left hand, cradled in his lap, he holds a bowl filled with medicinal herbs, the *bhaisajya kalasha*, which symbolizes the potent medicine that cures the afflictions of sentient beings. From his left arm, a sprig of the *Artemisia* plant, also known as the medicine plant, emerges, further emphasizing his role as the dispenser of healing. ––––––––––––––––––––

Artistry and Embellishment

The masterful craftsmanship of this statue is evident in the rich detail and the opulent inlay work. Fashioned from high-quality brass, the sculpture possesses a warm, radiant sheen that speaks of enduring spiritual value. The robes of the Medicine Buddha are intricately adorned with vibrant turquoise and deep red inlay, creating a stunning visual contrast against the lustrous brass. These colorful accents are meticulously placed within delicate patterns, enhancing the regal aura of the deity. The lapels of his monastic robes are bordered with a symphony of tiny blue and red stones, each one carefully set to highlight the flowing drapery. The urna, a curly hair between the eyebrows, is represented by a dot, a traditional mark of a Buddha, and his ushnisha, the cranial protuberance symbolizing his great wisdom, is topped with a deep, lustrous blue, adding a touch of celestial mystery. The entire piece exudes a sense of opulence and spiritual grandeur, making it a captivating centerpiece for any altar or sacred space. ––––––––––––––––––––

A Beacon of Hope and Serenity

The Medicine Buddha is a central figure in Mahayana Buddhism, particularly in Tibet, China, and Japan. Legends tell of his vows to heal all beings from suffering and his extraordinary powers manifested through his enlightened knowledge. In ancient tales, it is said that when he attained enlightenment, a ray of light emanated from him, revealing his compassionate vows and the celestial realm where he resides. Devotion to the Medicine Buddha is believed to alleviate physical and mental ailments, overcome obstacles, and bring about a state of inner peace and spiritual progress. This statue serves as a powerful reminder of these teachings and a tangible conduit for invoking the Medicine Buddha's blessings for oneself and for the world. Its presence can foster a sense of calm, hope, and well-being, encouraging a path towards healing and spiritual clarity.

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.
