Meditation Deity Chenrezig Statue | Traditional Nepalese Artwork
Experience infinite compassion with our Meditation Deity Chenrezig. Standing at 13.6”/34.5cm with a 12.2”/31cm base, this deity is made of copper, covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect. This sculpture, adorned with gemstones and handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
Chenrezig is seated in the lotus position, symbolizing peace, tranquility, 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 jewelry, which symbolize his enlightened nature and compassionate activity. The four arms represent 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 symbolizes the continuous practice of compassion. Another hand often holds a lotus flower, which represents 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 symbolizes 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.
