Aparmita (Amitayus)
Discover the meaning of Aparmita, also called Amitayus, who is worshipped as the bestower of longevity. This statue can be depicted as either a crowned Buddha or a Bodhisattva, and therefore wears rich robes and the thirteen celestial ornaments. In a classical Buddha sitting posture that exudes calm and serenity, Aparmita holds his hands in Dhyana Mudra while holding the Ambrosia Vase, his signature emblem. This magnificent vase is ornately decorated and from its lid hang four strings of pearls, symbols of timelessness.
The Lamaist ceremony for achieving longevity is a fascinating fusion of Buddhist spirituality and cultural practice.
This handcrafted one-of-a-kind piece was made in Nepal from copper, decorated with delicate filigree motifs, gold plated and silver plated. The face and body are made of intricately carved crystal. The bowl element of the statue is made of carved and inlaid lapis lazuli elements. This gemstone is not only known for its vibrant blue color, but also symbolizes wisdom and truth. Combined with the crystal, the result is a powerful representation of spiritual enlightenment.
The finest filigree ornaments adorn this masterful work and are complemented by the elegant color accents of coral, turquoise and lapis lazuli. These vibrant colors give the statue an unparalleled beauty and symbolize aspects of the spiritual journey.
This statue can be used for a variety of purposes, whether during your yoga and meditation practice, at various Buddhist festivities, or as a precious piece of interior decoration. It is a testament to traditional Asian Buddhist art. The crystal gives clear thoughts and positive energy.
