Clarity and Joyfulness
Fine crafted statues from East Asia are being welcomed by a steady growing number of people. Buddha Statues are highly appreciated because they radiate clarity and joyfulness. The sadness and pain of the world we live in are conquered and transformed through the depths of the smiling image. A space is created which we can fill with earthly bliss.
Kinds of Buddhas
»Buddha« is no last name, as one might be inclined to think, It is a honorary title, which only is awarded to those, who achieved salvation through the own awareness. The man, who is usually described by this titel, is a historical person. He lived possibly between the 6th and 5th centuries BC. in Northern India and he was called Siddhartha Gautama, before his enlightment. The doctrine, revealed by him (Dharma), has been further developed during the centuries. This doctrine and the monastic order, founded by himself are still alive. Thanks to the brisk activity of the Tibetan Lamas in recent years, the Dhama is gaining influence in the West.
Before Gautama, there are many Buddhas, who are said to have lived and revealed the Dharma. They are called prehistorical Buddhas. Besides, there are also future-Buddhas. They are not born yet, but are expected to arise in the coming epochs. The Buddha, we are waiting for in this era is called Maitreya.
Another group of Buddhas are the transcendent Buddhas. They are not born on Earth, in contrast to the latter. They are relieved from natural law, timeless and always present. They are also called Dhyani-Buddhas, because they can become visible during meditation (Dhyana). Some of the transcendent Buddhas are: Akshobhya, Ratnasambhava, Amitabha, Amoghasiddhi and Vairochana.
We offer different kinds of Buddha-statues. We specified some of them more exactly.
Monks
Monks devote their lives to the spirituality - daily they connect in their meditation to a higher energy. In Asia they are honored, because they raise the spiritual energy of the whole country and care for their fellow human beings in a spiritual way. Because of their immaterial sense of life the society takes care of their physical well-being in a devotional and thankfully way. They also pay for their transportation costs if the monks want to visit other temples. The lovingly Monks remind you, that there is much more in our world and they send out calm gentleness and wisdom.
Nag Kanya, Hanuman, Krishna, Shiva and Kali
Elephants
Elephants are beautiful beings, which unify both - sensuality and strength. In their physical and spiritual appearance elephants are very strong and powerful. At the same time this powerful animal is very sensitive and lovingly. Through the mastery of these polarities and the fascinating memory, the elephant is known as confident, dignified and intelligent. This animal is a symbol of spiritual visions, stability and wisdom. He should remind us of the calm strength in ourselves and to the power of the unconsciousness. In the wisdom of Feng Shui elephants are placed in the spiritual knowledge of Baguas.
White Elephants are an absolute rareness and in many places in Asia they are honoured. According to legends, souls which are of great purity and have left the human ego behind them incarnate in these beings.
In accordance to that their spirit and soul is of unbelievable strength and love.
Shiva
Shiva, whose name means undquot;friendlyundquot; or undquot;mercifulundquot; unites many opposites: He is merciful and devastating, meditative and ecstatic, God of the Universe, yet still with preferences for certain earthly locations like Mount Kailash and the Indian city, Benares. Shiva is adored in many different forms. As the Great Yogi (Mahayogi) practicing ascetic disciplines or being completely immersed in meditation, as the great Master of the World, or as Nataraj, Lord of the Dance, who destroys all ignorance and everything that is not based on truth and love with his dancing steps.Shiva Nataraj is the symbol for the major purification period of our planet that is happening at this time.
Tara
She embodies the female divinity in itself. Her name means both "starundquot; and "saviorundquot;. In Tibet she is called "Dölmaundquot;, which means mother. There, she is worshiped as mother of all buddhas. As a gesture of wish granting, her right hand points downwards, the left hand shows the gesture of protection granting.
Green Tara
She is a protector of all dangers and therefore worshipped. At every time of the day she is ready to intervene in a protective or helping way.
Quan Yin
Quan Yin is a Saint of the East. She stands for charity and mercy. The myths report that many thousands of years ago she could have ascended into the Ocean of Infinity. But she let her view wander back to Earth and her feeling of compassion with human pain caused her to come back so long as there is suffering.
Lakshmi
Lakshmi is the Goddess of planet Earth, of beauty, luck, and prosperity. But she is not only the Goddess of material luck, but also for spiritual well-being and abundance. She is Shakti, the maintaining power of her spouse Vishnu.
Garuda
Garuda is praised as godly being. He is half man, half eagle - a creature with an alerting mind who is flying through the air with its golden wings. He is seen as a undquot;messenger of godsundquot; as he lives in between worlds. He brings news and godly guidance to humans. Garuda is also seen as an annihilator of demons. Through his bright and golden size dark shadows are engulfed. This is symbolically indicted through holding a snake in his mouth, ready to swallow up. Especially nowadays it is extremely essential having Garuda at one s side. He will protectively spread his huge wings and ward each dark assault. He is vigilantly building and strengthening a connection with godly spheres. And who knows.... One day we might be carried on his wide wing directly to higher spheres.
