Buddha & Tara Statues
Our Buddhist Statues are made for us in the Himalayas by a renowned family of artisans of the Shakya clan, their lineage dating back over 2500 years to the time of the historical Shakyamuni Buddha. The Shakya family has been living in the Himalayas and making Buddhist Statues for over a thousand years. We are honored and delighted to be able to offer these incredible works of sacred art to the western world.
The Buddha and Tara Statues we offer are of exceptional quality, each one designed to the exact descriptions in the Buddhist texts and commentaries. The hand-painted faces show exquisite and beautiful detail. These very special statues energize the environment they are in, as well as inspire and truly bring joy to every one that sees them.
The exact form of the statue is very important. Each statue is rich in symbolism, with sacred scriptures specifying the detailed iconography. The statues we offer are made using the ancient ‘lost wax’ casting process and require the highest level of craftsmanship. The majority of rupas available today are marred by poor attention to detail in the design, casting or finishing of the product. We have gone to great lengths to seek out and work with a family of artisans who are both highly skilled and have great respect for the work they are involved in.
Statues play an important role in Tibetan Buddhism and in Mahayana Buddhism generally. Each Buddha or Bodhisattva is understood to have enlightened qualities, relating to these qualities can help us in developing our own innate vast potential of wisdom and compassion. A statue is a visual catalyst and reminder of the beauty and enlightened qualities that are with in ourselves and all sentient beings.
