About our Citipati : 

This Chitipati Statue, beautifully carved from ethically sourced buffalo bone, stands 20.5cm tall, 14cm broad, and weighs 0.44kg. The statue depicts the Cemetery Guardian from Tibetan Buddhism, also known as the Lord of the Cemetery. Chitipati's skeletal shape signifies the impermanence of life and the inevitability of death, which is consistent with the main teachings of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism. The sustainably selected material offers a considerate approach to manufacturing this spiritual relic, making it a valuable addition to your Buddhist shrine or altar.

The Chitipati Statue, also known as the Lord of the Cemetery, depicts two dancing skeletal figures surrounded by fire. This beautiful pattern symbolizes the impermanence of life and the certainty of death, reminding practitioners of the fleeting nature of existence. The skeletal figures do a joyful dance, representing emancipation from earthly attachments and ignorance. The flames that surround the figures signify the transformational power of wisdom, which purifies negative karma and illuminates the road to enlightenment.

The Chitipati figures' dynamic dance posture represents victory over ego and attachment to physical forms, both fundamental to Buddhist teachings on impermanence. Each figure carries sacred objects that represent spiritual strength and the cycle of life and death. This symbolic item represents a celebration of spiritual enlightenment, the route to Nirvana, and a reminder of mortality. Displaying this statue in your house or meditation area can encourage deep thought and spiritual progress.
