About Our Statue:
This Vajrapani statue measures 23 cm in height and 16 cm in width, weighing 1.70 kg. It is made of oxidized copper and has rich craftsmanship, including a strong blazing halo that surrounds the god, signifying Vajrapani's ferocious fury and protection. The statue is firmly placed on a lotus base embellished with traditional designs, combining beauty and solidity. Its large size and weight make it a striking focal point for meditation altars or spiritual places.
Vajrapani is typically depicted in a powerful, dynamic stance, with one leg bent and the other extended, ready for action, symbolizing his readiness to protect and defend the Dharma. He has a wrathful, fierce face with bulging eyes, bared fangs, and a snarling mouth, symbolizing his determination and fearlessness in dispelling obstacles and ignorance. Vajra is held in his right hand, symbolising indestructible wisdom, power, and the ability to cut through delusion. Lasso is held in his left hand, used to bind demons and delusions, representing control over negative forces. Vajrapani is adorned with five skulls, symbolizing the transcendence of the five poisons (ignorance, attachment, aversion, pride, jealousy).
The statue's blazing halo and ferocious look symbolize his role as a defender and the removal of barriers, demonstrating exquisite craftsmanship rooted in Tibetan Buddhist iconography. This statue represents power, courage, and spiritual commitment. Displaying Vajrapani inspires intense compassion and unshakable support, making it an excellent complement to any holy place or a meaningful gift for seekers committed to protecting and empowering their practice.
Introduction To Vajrapani:
Vajrapani is the manifestation of the Buddha's boundless power and the first meditational deity in this series to be depicted in a wrathful form. He is standing, adorned in a tiger silk cloth. His hands are in a menacing mudra, which is used to overcome obstacles, and his right hand is holding a vajra, representing the enlightened force of full spiritual awakening.
How do take care of your statues?
• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by a Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a
glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching with the bare hand objects can
smudge the face, leaving scratches.
