About our Statue:

The Dipankara Buddha Statue stands 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) tall, with a 3.0-inch (7.5 cm) base, and weighs approximately 0.48 kg. It is handcrafted from an oxidized copper body. The statue depicts Dipankara, the Buddha of the Past, one of the earliest Buddhas mentioned in Buddhist texts. This compact yet detailed piece makes an excellent addition to home altars, meditation spaces, or spiritual collections. Made in Nepal by skilled artisans using traditional techniques.

The Dipankara Buddha stands gracefully, symbolizing enlightenment and spiritual foresight. His right arm is relaxed and extended downward, with the hand open in a gesture that suggests generosity or reassurance. In contrast, his left hand, near his chest, signifies protection and reassurance. The flowing robe reflects simplicity and renunciation. Crafted from oxidized copper, the statue carries a traditional, sacred aesthetic. Dipankara, known for foretelling the arrival of Gautama Buddha, represents wisdom, the transmission of Dharma, and the path to enlightenment.

Introduction to Dipankara Buddha:

Dipankara Buddha, known as the Buddha of Light, is revered in Mahayana Buddhism for his ability to illuminate the path to enlightenment. He is believed to have met Sakyamuni Buddha in a past life, offering his light and wisdom. Dipankara Buddha is also associated with spiritual transformation and guidance, and his image serves as a reminder of the boundless light that can help overcome the darkness of ignorance. This statue represents the compassionate power of light and the spiritual awakening that is possible through Buddha’s teachings.

How do you take care of your statues?

• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by the 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 objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
