About Our Statue: 
The Protective Bodhisattva Chenrezig Statue stands 13.2 inches (33.5 cm) tall and has a base width of 8.9 inches (22.5 cm). It weighs 2.80 kilograms and is crafted from a copper body, richly adorned with 24K gold gilding, detailed gold and acrylic paintings, and gemstone inlay.  Perfect for any space, it brings a sense of serenity and enlightenment.

The deity sits on a moon-disc lotus seat. A crystal rosary in the upper right-hand symbolizes the never-ending cycle of life, death, and regeneration. The lotus in the upper left-hand corner represents the deity's role in assisting mankind in overcoming adversity and unpleasant conditions, including hellish realms. The lower hands are gently put in a namaste motion, grasping a wish-fulfilling Jewel. The deity's gentle, calm expression symbolizes compassion and serenity.

Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara) is a central figure in Mahayana Buddhism, revered for his compassion. He is often depicted with multiple arms, each representing a facet of his loving kindness and his readiness to provide help. His mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, is one of the most widely recited in Buddhism and embodies the essence of the Bodhisattva’s promise to aid all beings.

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.
