The Embodiment of Healing: The Medicine Buddha

This exquisite brass statue depicts Bhaishajyaguru, the Medicine Buddha, a figure of profound importance in Mahayana Buddhism. Revered as the embodiment of healing and the master physician of the spiritual world, he is invoked for physical and mental well-being. The statue is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship of Indian artisans, who have meticulously brought this divine form to life. The rich brass, polished to a warm gleam, forms the serene visage and graceful posture of the Buddha.

Symbolism and Iconography

The Medicine Buddha is typically depicted seated in the lotus position, his left hand resting in his lap, holding the

Arura

(myrobalan) fruit, a traditional Ayurvedic medicine, symbolizing his ability to cure all ills. His right hand, extended downwards, rests on his right knee in the

Varada Mudra

, the gesture of bestowing boons and granting wishes. This mudra signifies his compassionate nature and his readiness to alleviate suffering. The striking turquoise and coral inlay work that adorns his monastic robe adds a vibrant dimension to the statue, representing the precious gems and the diverse elements of nature from which healing properties are derived. The intricate patterns of these inlays further enhance the spiritual aura of the deity, drawing the viewer into a meditative state.

A Legacy of Compassion

In Buddhist mythology, the Medicine Buddha is believed to have made twelve great vows to liberate all sentient beings from suffering and disease. His realm, the

Pure Land of Vaiduryanirbhāsa

(Lapis Lazuli Light), is a paradise where illness and old age do not exist. Devotees turn to him with prayers for healing, longevity, and freedom from the mental afflictions that plague humanity, such as greed, hatred, and delusion. This statue serves as a tangible reminder of his compassionate vows and his unwavering commitment to guiding beings towards enlightenment and liberation from all forms of suffering.

Artistic Excellence and Cultural Heritage

Handmade in India, this statue is not merely an object of devotion but also a remarkable piece of art. The traditional techniques passed down through generations of artisans are evident in the fine detailing and the harmonious balance of form and ornamentation. The use of brass, a metal deeply rooted in the cultural and spiritual traditions of India, adds to its authenticity and enduring appeal. The vibrant inlay work, a hallmark of many Indian art forms, not only enhances the aesthetic beauty but also imbues the piece with symbolic meaning, connecting it to the rich tapestry of Indian artistic heritage and spiritual practices. This magnificent creation is destined to be a cherished centerpiece in any sacred space or a significant addition to a collection of spiritual 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.
