Vairocana Copper Sculpture - A Lustrous Icon of Universal Enlightenment
The beautiful Buddha Vairocana Sculpture is a majestic portrayal of the transcendental Buddha, also known as the embodiment of the Dharmakaya. Standing at a towering 15.7 inches, this sculpture is precisely constructed with an oxidized copper body that serves as a timeless base for the brilliant 24K gold gilding and delicate silver plating that cover the surface. This hefty statue, weighing 5.92 kg, is both a source of deep reverence and a masterwork of Buddhist creativity.
The Vairocana Buddha is depicted in the classic meditation pose, with his hands creating the Dharmachakra mudra, representing the wheel of Dharma and the spread of the Buddha's teachings across the universe. The exquisite blend of gold and silver on this sculpture reflects the unity of wisdom and compassion, while the fine details painted in acrylic showcase the extraordinary skill of the artisans. The interplay of the rich, dark patina of the oxidized copper with the bright gold and silver creates a striking visual contrast, emphasizing the statue's spiritual and artistic significance.

His image is a powerful emblem of universal enlightenment, encouraging a better awareness of the cosmos' interconnectedness and the role of the mind in molding our view of reality.
