About Our Statue:

Spiritual Protector Chenrezig stands 5.5 inches (14 cm) tall with a base width of 3.9 inches (10 cm) and weighs approximately 0.50 kg. Expertly handcrafted from copper, the figure is adorned with rich 24K gold gilding and detailed gold and acrylic paintings, showcasing both artistic beauty and spiritual significance. Despite its small size, the statue features intricate detailing that reflects the compassionate nature of Chenrezig, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. It makes a meaningful addition to any personal altar, meditation space, or spiritual decor, serving as a gentle reminder of peace, mindfulness, and loving-kindness.

Seated gracefully on a moon-disc lotus, this deity holds a crystal rosary in the upper right hand, symbolizing the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth. In the upper left-hand, a lotus flower signifies the deity’s mission to help humanity rise above hardships and even the darkest realms. The lower hands come together in a serene namaste gesture, clutching a wish-fulfilling Jewel. With a gentle, peaceful expression, the deity embodies compassion and tranquility, inviting you into a story of spiritual protection and hope.

Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara, stands at the heart of Mahayana Buddhism as a symbol of boundless compassion. Often shown with many arms, each one reflects a different aspect of his loving kindness and his eagerness to assist those in need. His famous mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, is among the most chanted in Buddhist practice, capturing the very spirit of the Bodhisattva’s vow to support all living beings on their journey.

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 the 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.
