Karana Buddha - Silver Patina

Size: 8.25” W x 13” H

Material: Brass

Country of origin: India

This particular crowned Buddha is extremely powerful in its symbolism. The two mudras he is displaying are karana mudras. They are used to ward off evil, dispel negativity and remove obstacles. When the karana mudra is preformed with a dorje (A ritualistic tool), the intent intensifies. While the karana mudra itself acts as passive protection, with the dorje in hand it becomes a weapon to cut though ignorance, materialism and negative emotions. It further acts as a shield from negative energy, fear and anxiety. The bell in his left hand is another ritualistic item that represents Buddhas voice, compassion and wisdom. Its purpose is to signal moments of mindfulness and awaken moments of clarity.

Dorje’s:

The dorje is a ritualistic tool used in Buddhism. The word “dorje” translates to “diamond” or “lord of stone” symbolizing a tool that cuts though illusions. It symbolizes firm spiritual power and indestructible consciousness. It represents the union of wisdom and compassion.

About Mudras:

Mudras are specific representative body positions, hand and/or finger gestures sometimes referred to as “seals” or “marks” and are highly symbolic.
