Himalayan 1000 Armed Avalokiteshvara Statue
The statue of 1000 Armed Avalokiteshvara was traditionally hand-carved in Nepal using Himalayan art. We are a traditional group of artists from the Kathmandu Valley. In the statue, the deity is portrayed with a serene countenance sitting on a moon disc lotus seat. You can utilize this statue on many Buddhist holidays for daily meditation or yoga. This statue was expertly constructed with a solid copper body and real 24-karat gold for the gilding. His face is illuminated by the brilliant halo set with priceless turquoise and corals, and his presence is engulfed by the majestic nimbus set with colorful acrylic paints. This unique work of Tibetan art will be a wonderful present from Nepal to a meditation practitioner like you. Every minute detail of the deity was hand-carved using a hammer chisel.

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.
