Traditionally Gold Gilded Tibetan Chenrezig Statue
The traditional techniques used to create this Tibetan Chenrezig Statue were honed in our Nepal studio using the know-how handed down through the generations. The statue's body was carved from pure copper and gilded with real 24-karat gold. The most revered of all Bodhisattvas is Avalokitesvara, also known as "One who looks with the unwavering eye.". The deity is pictured sitting atop a moon disc lotus with her two front arms folded. His left hand holds a white lotus, and his upper right hand holds his distinctive symbol, a crystal rosary. Especially the nimbus of the deity is decorated so well with all those very uniquely designed patterns. On top of that, the whole throne and nimbus is detachable, and that parasol over the top makes the whole statue even more divine. The creation of this magnificent work of art required months of arduous work in our studio.

Chenrezig epitomizes the bodhisattva's determination to delay attaining Buddhahood until he has assisted every sentient being on Earth in achieving freedom from pain and the cycle of death and rebirth. His name has been translated as "the lord who observes in all directions." The practice of Chenrezig/Avalokiteshvara is encouraged to develop of a calm and compassionate heart. Compassion is the root foundation for excelling in the Buddhist path. He listens to the prayers of all sentient beings in times of challenge and difficulty.
