About Our Statue :
The Chenrezig in Throne Statue is a beautifully detailed piece made from copper and bronze, standing 18 cm tall, with a width of 12 cm, and weighing 1.41 kg. This small yet intricate sculpture portrays Chenrezig, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, seated gracefully on a moon-disc lotus seat. His five-jewel crown adds a divine touch, while the Kirtimukha at the top of the halo frames his face, symbolizing protection and the transmutation of negative energy. The two Makara heads carved at the sides of the Kirtimukha further enhance this piece's powerful and sacred imagery.
Chenrezig holds a crystal rosary in his upper right hand, symbolizing the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth. His left-hand holds a lotus, signifying his role in helping humanity overcome adversity and transcend suffering. His hands are positioned in a Namaste gesture, representing peace and humility, while the Wish-fulfilling Jewel signifies the fulfillment of wishes and the alleviation of suffering. These thoughtful hand gestures are integral to the statue’s symbolic message.
The finely crafted throne and base feature for dogs symbolize protection and add beauty to the overall aesthetic. Floral carvings along the edges enhance the piece, making it ornate and elegant. The statue's craftsmanship demonstrates exceptional attention to detail, especially in the delicate carvings on the throne, the flowing lines of the lotus seat, and the intricate features of Chenrezig’s face. This statue represents compassion and serves as a testament to the skill and artistry involved in its creation.
Introduction to Chenresig
Chenresig epitomizes the bodhisattva's determination to delay attaining Buddhahood until he has assisted every sentient being on Earth in achieving freedom from pain and the cycle of death and rebirth. His name has been translated as "the lord who observes in all directions." The practice of Chenresigs encouraged the development of a calm and compassionate heart. Compassion is the root foundation for excelling in the Buddhist path. He listens to the prayers of all sentient beings in times of challenge and difficulty.
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 completely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by 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.
