Milarepa Statue reich verziert mit Filigran

Jetsun Milarepa was a healing monk and poet who lived at the beginning of the 12th century. He devoted his life to spiritual practice, traversed Tibet, performed miracles, and brought the nomadic people into contact with Buddhism. As a student of Marpa Lotsawa, he played a central role in the history of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. He is famous for his hundred thousand songs, in which he captured his life's journey as well as the tantric teachings in poetic form.

The statue of Milarepa shows him in a relaxed, semi-closed posture sitting on a gazelle rug. He has short, curly hair and is dressed in monastic robes. His right hand is positioned behind his right ear with fingers extended and palm turned outward, giving the impression that he is listening to the echo of nature. In his left hand, he holds a begging bowl that denotes his Buddha status.

His robe and the base he sits on are adorned with fine filigree ornaments. Silvered spiral arches are filled with small elements, accented with golden bead wire and colored stones.

This fine craftsmanship makes the Milarepa statue an outstanding piece of Asian art that adds a touch of elegance and spirituality to any Buddhist home altar. Handmade in Nepal, this statue represents not only the religious significance but also the cultural heritage of the region.
