Introduction To Lokeshwor:
In Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, Lokeshwor, which translates to "Lord of the World," is a highly esteemed bodhisattva who personifies unending mercy. Lokeshwor, also called Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is revered in East Asian, Tibetan, and Nepalese cultures. He is shown in various ways, such as the manifestations with four and a thousand arms, representing his boundless mercy. The chant Om Mani Padme Hum, which stands for enlightenment and universal love, is closely linked to Lokeshwor. He is especially revered in Nepal as Karunamaya and Matsyendranath. According to devotees, invoking the blessings of Lokeshwor results in the development of kindness, wisdom, and freedom from pain.
How do 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.
