About our Statue:

Devotional Artwork of the Chenrezig statue measures 6.7 inches (17 cm) in height and 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) at the base. It weighs 0.58 kg and is crafted from a copper body adorned with 24K gold gilding, gold and acrylic paintings, and handcarved gemstones, making it a stunning piece of Tibetan Buddhist art.

Chenrezig is seated in the lotus position, symbolising peace, tranquillity, and spiritual awakening. He is adorned with a crown. The crown signifies his status as a Bodhisattva. He is typically dressed in the attire of a Bodhisattva, including fine silks and jewellery, which symbolise his enlightened nature and compassionate activity. The four arms symbolise the four immeasurable qualities: love, compassion, joy, and equanimity. One hand typically holds prayer beads, which Chenrezig uses to count the recitations of the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum." It symbolises the continuous practice of compassion. Another hand often holds a lotus flower, representing purity, spiritual awakening, and the potential for all beings to achieve enlightenment, regardless of their circumstances. Also, the two central hands are joined at the heart in the anjali mudra (prayer gesture), holding a wish-fulfilling jewel (cintamani). This symbolises his compassionate intention to help all beings and the unity of wisdom and compassion. Chenrezig is depicted with a serene and compassionate facial expression. His eyes are often slightly lowered, gazing with compassion upon all beings.

His mantra, "Om Mani Padme Hum," is closely associated with his iconography and is often inscribed on prayer wheels, mani stones, and other sacred objects. Chenrezig embodies the infinite compassion of all the Buddhas and is believed to hear the cries and suffering of all beings.

• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.

• 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 the face with the bare hand can
