Introduction to Ratnasambhava Buddha

Ratnasambhava is one of the five Dhyani Buddhas in Tibetan Buddhism. He is associated with the element of earth and the direction of the south. Ratnasambhava is often depicted in yellow or gold, representing his association with wealth and abundance. Ratnasambhava's name means "Jewel-Born" or "Origin of Jewels," and he is often associated with the Ratna, a precious jewel that represents the Buddha's teachings. He is also related to the transformation of pride into wisdom and the cultivation of equanimity and generosity. Ratnasambhava is often invoked in Tibetan Buddhist practices to overcome feelings of pride, envy, and lack and to cultivate a sense of gratitude, generosity, and abundance.

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 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 objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
