Tibetan Buddhist Spiritual Icon Milarepa Handmade Statue
This Buddhist Spiritual Icon Milarepa Statue measures 6.5”/16.5cm in height and 6.3”/16cm at the base, with a weight of 1.34 kg. Meticulously handcrafted from a copper body, it is richly adorned with 24K gold gilding and detailed gold and acrylic paintings. This statue honors the great Tibetan yogi and poet Milarepa, symbolizing spiritual perseverance and inner awakening—an ideal addition to meditation spaces, altars, or sacred collections.
In his iconography, Milarepa is depicted as a humble and enlightened yogi, embodying renunciation and profound meditative realization. He is seated in lalitasana, the posture of royal ease, with his right hand resting over his right knee, a relaxed gesture signifying openness and grounded awareness. In his left hand, he holds an alms bowl, symbolizing his life of simplicity and reliance on offerings. At the same time, his emaciated, pale body reflects the years of solitary ascetic practice he has endured in the Himalayan caves. He is clothed in simple monastic robes, representing detachment from worldly concerns. Beneath him lies a deer skin carpet, a traditional symbol of yogic practice and spiritual discipline, emphasizing his role as a meditative hermit and teacher. These iconographic features together portray Milarepa’s profound devotion, endurance, and realization of the Dharma.
