Buddhas, Metal

This Buddha statue is in the Zen Buddhist tradition of Japan. He is less ornate than many in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. He rests serenely in meditation, hands in his lap in meditation or samadhi pose, right hand placed on left hand, all fingers extended and palms turned upward.

We have named our Buddha after the city, Kamakura, Japan, where a larger version of this image is located.

This brass statue of Vajrasattva depicts him in his solitary form, without a consort. Nepali Buddhists consider him the sixth Dhyani Buddha and the leader of the five Dhyani buddhas.

Vajrasattva is richly ornamented and wears a crown. He sits cross-legged in the meditative pose. He carries the vajra (dorje) in his right hand with palm upwards against the chest and the ghanta (bell)in his left hand, resting upon his left thigh.

This is a statue of the Medicine Buddha, or Healing Buddha. He sits on a lotus base, holding a bowl of healing herbs in his left hand. His right hand is in charity mudra and holds a branch of the myrobalan tree, a medicinal plant found in India and other tropical countries. The Medicine Buddha is said to dispense spiritual medicine to those who properly approach him. Some believe just touching the image brings benefit.

This classic Nepalese-style Buddha with the gold-painted face and the blue hair of a peaceful deity, shows Buddha Sakyamuni in the dharmachakra mudra, the gesture of teaching. Since dharma means law and chakra means wheel, this mudra is usually interpreted as turning the wheel of law. In this mudra, both hands are against the chest, the left one facing inward, covering the outward-facing right hand, with the index and thumb of each hand making a circle. This is the gesture exhibited by Buddha Sakyamuni at his first sermon in Sarnath, India.
