Iconography of the Six Bodhisattva Sculpture Set
This sculpture set represents six Bodhisattvas, enlightened beings who cultivate wisdom and compassion while working toward the liberation of all sentient beings. In traditional Buddhist iconography, the six principal Bodhisattvas are often associated with different enlightened qualities and spiritual activities.
1. Manjushri – Bodhisattva of Wisdom: Depicted holding a flaming sword in his right hand, symbolizing the destruction of ignorance, while his left hand holds a lotus supporting the Prajnaparamita Sutra, representing transcendental wisdom.
2. Vajrasattva – Buddha of Purification: Seated in vajra posture, holding a vajra near his heart and a bell in his left hand, symbolizing the union of compassionate method and wisdom. He represents the purification of negative karma and obscurations.
3. White Tara – Goddess of Longevity and Compassion: Depicted seated in a meditative posture, with her right hand displaying varada mudra and her left holding an utpala lotus. Her seven eyes symbolize her compassionate awareness of the suffering of all sentient beings.
4. Chenrezig – Bodhisattva of Compassion: Depicted in his four-armed form, with his principal hands joined at the heart and his remaining hands holding a prayer mala and lotus. His four arms represent the four immeasurable qualities of loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity.
5. Amitayus – Buddha of Infinite Life: Seated in vajra posture, holding a longevity vase filled with the nectar of immortality in both hands resting upon his lap. He represents long life, spiritual vitality, and the accumulation of merit and wisdom.
6. Green Tara – Goddess of Compassionate Action: Depicted with her right leg extended, symbolizing her readiness to assist suffering beings. Her right hand displays varada mudra, while her left holds an utpala lotus, representing generosity, purity, and swift compassionate activity.
Together, these six Bodhisattvas express the complementary qualities of wisdom, compassion, enlightened strength, loving-kindness, virtuous conduct, and unwavering dedication to the liberation of all beings.
