He is especially known for his profound commitment to helping beings in the realms of suffering, including those experiencing hardship, fear, and uncertainty. Kshitigarbha is traditionally depicted in the appearance of a monastic figure, symbolizing humility, discipline, and dedication to the welfare of all beings. His right hand often holds the khakkhara staff (monk’s ringed staff), representing his ability to open the gates of wisdom, awaken beings, and guide those in difficult states, while his left hand holds the wish-fulfilling jewel (Chintamani), symbolizing compassion, hope, and the fulfillment of spiritual aspirations. His peaceful expression reflects patience, unwavering compassion, and his powerful vow to continue helping beings until suffering is overcome. This sacred statue serves as a powerful meditation and devotional focus, inspiring practitioners to cultivate kindness, perseverance, selflessness, and the compassionate determination to support others on the path toward liberation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.69”\/50cm (Height) x 13”\/33cm(Base)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.59 kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24K Gold Gilded, Acrylic Painting, Copper Body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKshitigarbha Bodhisattva, known as the “Earth Store” or “Earth Womb” Bodhisattva, is one of the most revered figures in East Asian Buddhism, especially honored as a protector of children, guardian of beings in difficult states, and compassionate guide for the deceased. His name symbolizes his vast capacity to hold and preserve the merits, virtues, and aspirations of all sentient beings, much like the earth that supports and nourishes all life. Renowned for his extraordinary vow to delay his own attainment of Buddhahood until all beings suffering in the hell realms are liberated, Kshitigarbha represents the highest expression of selflessness, patience, and unwavering compassion. His practice inspires practitioners to cultivate dedication, responsibility, and the commitment to relieve suffering for the benefit of all beings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DB","offers":[{"title":"50cm x 33cm","offer_id":55364895310115,"sku":"KGDB23905","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/6517\/9590\/files\/download_8c123767-7ea0-44f5-8277-83d1d29efb62.jpg?v=1784785496","url":"https:\/\/www.termatree.com\/products\/handmade-kshitigarbha-sculpture","provider":"termatree","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
