Tara in Buddhist Tradition

Tara, derived from the Sanskrit word "Tar," which means "to cross," is revered in Tibetan Buddhism as a bodhisattva, a being who postpones their own enlightenment to help others achieve liberation. She is the embodiment of wisdom and compassion, actively intervening to alleviate suffering and remove obstacles on the path to enlightenment. Unlike many deities depicted in deep meditation, Tara is typically shown as ready to spring into action, symbolizing her swift response to those in need. She is often called "Jetsun Dolma" in Tibetan, meaning "Holy Mother Tara." According to legend, Tara emerged from a tear shed by Avalokiteśvara (Chenrezig in Tibetan), the bodhisattva of compassion, as he wept at the suffering of the world. From this tear sprang a lotus, and from the lotus arose Tara. Another popular origin story states that in a past life, Tara was a princess who vowed to remain a woman until she reached enlightenment, dedicating herself to helping others overcome suffering. Her unwavering commitment to compassion made her a powerful and universally loved figure in the Buddhist pantheon.

Iconography and Mudras

This statue captures the essence of Green Tara, one of her most well-known forms. She is depicted seated in the *lalitasana* pose, a posture of royal ease. The half-lotus position suggests her grounded nature, rooted in wisdom, while her right leg is extended, ready to spring into action to aid those in need. Her hands form specific mudras, or symbolic hand gestures. The right hand typically displays the *varada mudra*, the gesture of giving, bestowing blessings, and offering refuge. The left hand often holds the stem of a blue lotus flower, an *utpala*. The blue lotus, in Tibetan Buddhist art, is associated with wisdom and detachment. Even the smallest details, from the intricate crown adorned with precious inlays to the serene expression on her face, contribute to a visual narrative of compassion, wisdom, and active engagement in the world.

A Piece of Devotion and Art

This hand-crafted sculpture not only brings a touch of artistry to your space but also serves as a powerful reminder of the path of compassion and wisdom. Placing this statue in your meditation room, living area, or office can serve as a constant source of inspiration, encouraging mindfulness, kindness, and a dedication to alleviating suffering in the world. The delicate details, rendered in gleaming brass with contrasting copper and silver inlays, make this a stunning and meaningful object of 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.
