Chenrezig: The Embodiment of Compassion
In Mahayana Buddhism, Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara) is celebrated as the Bodhisattva of Compassion, embodying boundless empathy and unwavering dedication to the salvation of all beings.
- Role and Symbolism:
- Chenrezig has attained complete enlightenment but chooses to remain in the earthly realm to guide and aid all sentient beings.
- His devotion emphasizes profound compassion as an equal counterpart to wisdom, reflecting the Mahayana principle of universal salvation.
- Unlike early Buddhism, where wisdom took precedence, Mahayana Buddhism elevates compassion to an equally vital virtue, enabling both monastics and laypersons to strive for nirvana.

- Aesthetic Appeal:
- The chocolate patina enriches the statue with a warm, timeless beauty.

Lost-Wax Casting Technique

- Ceramic Shell: The wax model is coated with multiple layers of ceramic material to form a mold.
- Wax Removal: The wax is melted out, leaving a cavity for casting.
