About our Statue:

This handcrafted Marpa statue, measuring 8.3”/21cm in height and 6.9”/17.5cm at the base, weighs 1.81 kg. Made from 24K Gold-Gilded, Gold, and Acrylic Paintings on a Copper Body, it honors Marpa, a renowned master and teacher of Milarepa. A meaningful addition to any altar or meditation space, this statue embodies the profound spiritual heritage of Tibetan Buddhism.

Marpa is depicted seated on a pedestal in the classic padmasana (lotus) posture, wearing traditional monastic robes. His mature face reflects wisdom and experience, complemented by large earrings symbolizing his noble status. His hands rest calmly on his knees, embodying grounded composure and mastery. This portrayal honors Marpa’s role as the revered teacher and translator in the Kagyu lineage.

Introduction to Marpa:

Marpa was a pioneering Tibetan translator and spiritual master who journeyed to India to receive Vajrayana teachings from renowned Indian gurus. As Milarepa's key teacher and guru, he played a crucial role in transmitting profound tantric practices and Mahamudra teachings to Tibet, laying the foundation for the growth and influence of the Kagyu lineage.

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.
