About our Statue:

This Handmade Copper Chenrezig Statue beautifully captures the essence of compassion and loving-kindness. Measuring 8.7” (22 cm) in height and 6.3” (16 cm) in width, and weighing 1.47 kg, it is crafted from a copper body and richly adorned with 24K gold gilding, detailed gold and acrylic paintings, and carefully inlaid gemstones. This piece reflects exquisite Nepali artisan craftsmanship. Its harmonious proportions and vibrant finish make it an inspiring addition to any altar, meditation space, or personal collection, offering both spiritual significance and artistic elegance.

Iconographically, Chenrezig is shown seated in the peaceful padmasana posture on a lotus base, symbolizing spiritual purity and enlightenment arising from the murky world. His hands are held in the anjali mudra, a gesture of reverence and devotion, while gently holding the cintamani, the wish-fulfilling jewel that represents the Bodhisattva’s power to grant blessings and fulfill spiritual aspirations. The rosary in his upper right hand signifies the continuous cycle of prayer and compassion for all beings, encouraging practitioners to maintain mindfulness and loving-kindness. The utpala flower in his upper left hand symbolizes purity and the blossoming of enlightened qualities even amidst suffering. Together, these elements emphasize Chenrezig’s role as the embodiment of infinite compassion and the guide toward awakening.

Chenrezig, known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is the Bodhisattva of Compassion in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. Revered as the embodiment of infinite compassion, Chenrezig is believed to hear the cries and suffering of all sentient beings and works tirelessly to assist and guide them toward liberation from suffering. Often depicted with multiple arms symbolizing his ability to help countless beings simultaneously, he embodies the compassionate activity of all Buddhas. Devotees invoke Chenrezig to cultivate compassion in their hearts, seeking his blessings for kindness, mercy, and the alleviation of suffering in the world.

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 encourages 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 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.

Consecration Service Available

Each statue contains a sacred chamber for mantra and relic fillings to bestow spiritual empowerment. During consecration, these sacred items are placed inside and blessed through traditional rituals performed by the ordained monks. There is a fee for this service, offered as a respectful contribution to the monastery.

Please Note: Once consecrated, the statue becomes a sacred object and cannot be returned or refunded.
