The Enlightened Teacher: A Symbol of Wisdom and Compassion

This exquisite brass statue captures the serene and profound presence of the Buddha in the act of preaching. The figure is seated in the traditional lotus posture, a symbol of purity and enlightenment, as the lotus flower, though rooted in muddy waters, rises to bloom in immaculate beauty above the surface. The double lotus base further amplifies this symbolism, representing the dual aspects of wisdom and compassion, fundamental pillars of Buddhist philosophy. The Buddha's hands are positioned in the Vitarka Mudra, with the right hand raised and the palm facing outward, fingers extended. This gesture signifies the transmission of knowledge and teachings, the "turning of the Dharma wheel." ––––––––––––––––––––

Artistry and Spiritual Significance

Crafted from high-quality brass, this statue embodies the rich artistic traditions and deep spiritual heritage associated with Buddhist iconography. The smooth, lustrous finish of the brass enhances the tranquil aura of the Buddha. The subtle detailing on the monk's robe, adorned with elegant gold accents, speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship involved. The gentle curve of the Buddha's lips, the downcast eyes conveying deep introspection, and the subtly coiled hair, all contribute to an image of profound peace and detachment. In Buddhist lore, the Buddha's teachings, delivered through gestures and words, were the catalyst for liberation from suffering. His sermons, like the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, the first sermon at Sarnath, marked the beginning of his lifelong mission to guide sentient beings towards enlightenment. ––––––––––––––––––––

A Beacon of Inner Peace

This statue serves as a powerful reminder of the Buddha's timeless message of mindfulness, compassion, and the path to inner peace. It is more than just a decorative object; it is a conduit for spiritual contemplation and a focal point for meditation. The presence of the Buddha in a preaching posture encourages reflection on the profound wisdom shared by the Awakened One. Whether placed in a home altar, a meditation space, or as a statement piece in a living area, this brass statue radiates an aura of serenity and encourages a deeper connection with one's inner self and the universal truths of existence. Its substantial weight and intricate design ensure it will be a cherished heirloom, inspiring generations with its spiritual gravitas and artistic beauty.

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.
