Amoghpasa Lokeshvara

Amoghpasa Lokeshvara is a multi-armed form of Avalokiteshvara that seems to have been popular in Nepal since the Middle ages. The name suggests that he is the lord of the world with infallible noose which leads suffering sentient beings to enlightenment.Amoghpasa is popular not only in Nepal but all the countries where Mahayana Buddhism is practiced. The images of Amoghpasa can be found in Java, China and Japan.

Amoghpasa is the mystery in the center of the world lotus; all his limbs are white; he has one face, wears the saffron dress. He is wearing an antelope skin symbolizing that he is extremely compassionate to suffering sentient beings. He has eight hands, the right showing the gesture of fearlessness (Skt. Abhaya) and the boon granting gesture (Skt. Varada), holding the noose and the string of beads, the left holding a trident, a scripture, a white lotus and a water pot (Skt. Kamandalu). To the right of the lord is Tara who is of green colour, with two hands, the right showing the Varada mudra and the left holding a blue lotus, she wears all the proper ornaments related with sambhhogakaya Buddha. On his left is Bhrikuti of yellow colour having four hands; on the right her first hand makes the varada mudra and second anjali mudra; on the left the first hand holds a coral tree flower, the second a rosary. He has three divine eyes looking on triple word.

Among four left hands, one principal hand holds Kamandalu i. e. a water pot signifying he has the capacity of initiating all the sentient beings into Tathagatahood.Second left hand holding lotus signifies that he frees the sentient beings residing in Hell realm from the suffering of intense heat and cold just like a lotus emerges from a muddy water. Third left hand holding triple staff (Skt. Tri-dandi) signifies that he purifies three poisons of sentient beings i.e. Just, ill will and stupidity. Fourth left hand holding a scripture signifies that he gives prajna to the devotees and thereby attaining liberation from cyclic existence.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

24K Mercury Gilding

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

Cold-Gold Face Painting
