What Makes These Statues Truly Special?

The remarkable craftsmanship, spiritual quality, and authenticity of these statues make them vastly different from traditional offerings in the market. Below are the aspects that make these Green Tara statues one-of-a-kind treasures:

Rooted in Himalayan Mastery and Devotion

Each statue is individually handcrafted by Himalayan artisans in the living traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. The master sculptors have inherited fine sculpting techniques that have been passed down for generations, and embody artistic skill and spiritual meaning. Rather than being mass-produced, each statue is a unique expression made with awareness and reverence for the deity being represented. The sculpture is intentional and carried out with a deliberate slowness to preserve the very nature of Green Tara spiritually, and in every detail.

Charged with Sacred Purpose and Spiritual Energy

These statues are not simply representations, they are sacred vessels. Many of our statues are meant to be consecrated and may include mantras, relics, or blessed objects in them. This sacred intention brings them to life as an icon of devotion filled with Green Tara’s compassion and active awareness, as a means of connecting us to her practice. Whether on a shrine or in practice, they provide the opportunity for and act like good spiritual friends of protection, clarity, and inner peace.

Timeless Creations Meant to Endure Across Generations

These statues, made from specially processed copper alloys, with 24K gold gilded layering, and with gemstones and sacred craftsmanship, are durable pieces. Because of their durability, these pieces will maintain their sacred presence and beauty for decades, or even centuries, to come, allowing them to be given as an heirloom to a follower of the dharma. However, the statues are not simply pieces of aesthetic art, but a continuity of lineage and blessing.
