Description

Buddhist Philosopher, Hand-Carved Statue of Nagarjuna Buddha 

With the perfect blend of gold plating on the face and acrylic painting, we have sculpted the statue of Nagarjuna Buddha in a copper body in our studio, Kathmandu, Nepal. We are a group of Vajrayana sculpting artists with skills passed to us from our ancestors devoted to sculpting a Buddhist deity in their true iconographic form. He is depicted sitting on a moon disc of a Lotus seat with a calm expression. His two hands are held at heart, performing a teaching gesture. 

Size: 8.6"/22cm (Height) x 6.2"/16cm (Base)
Weight: 2.05 kg
Material: 24K Gold Gilded, Copper Body, Acrylic Paintings

Two thousand years ago, Nagarjuna lived in India. The second part of the second century of the Christian period was the zenith of Nagarjuna. The Satavahana ruler Gautamiputra Yajnasri was friends with Nagarjuna at the time. He originated in Vidarbha from a prosperous brahmin family. The Middle Way School, often known as the Madhyamaka school of philosophy, was founded by Nagarjuna. Typically, Nagarjuna is shown as a monk wearing orange and crimson robes. The two hands are frequently clasped together as a teaching gesture. He stands out for two specific qualities. On the summit of the head is an ushnisha, which is the first. The second is a head-framing canopy or hood made of seven snakes. He explained sunyata's genuine meaning through a four-point examination. He holds that no phenomenon or individual has a real independent existence.

Even more stunning than in the photos. First class customer service. I'm not a practitioner of Vajrayana, but Nagarjuna holds a special place in my heart, and I was pleased to be offered the option to have the statue filled and consecrated in Nepal before shipping. So happy to have this unique piece in my home, very motivating for my practice. My thanks to Nima, the artisans at Termatree, and the Shechen Monastery.
