Product introduction

Here is an rare statue 1000 Arms Avalokiteshvara of Goddess which is made of Bronze .with 24K Gold Painting Very rare artwork! The statue is in good condition, and was created by skilled Chinese craftsmen in traditional style with fine handcrafts. In Buddhism , Avalokiteshvara displays here her eleven-headed, 1000-armed form. The eleven heads signify the eleven directions as well as the three vertical divisions of top, middle, and bottom. This manifestation of Avalokiteshvara is thought to have been influenced by the eleven manifestations of the popular Hindu god Shiva, known as the ekadasha (eleven) Rudras. The Buddhist myth that explains the origin of this complex image stresses the universal compassion that this deity embodies. It is said that once he was so moved by the sufferings of sentient beings that his head split into ten pieces. The Buddha Amitabha turned each of them into a complete head and, added his own at the apex and, hence, the number eleven. Avalokiteshvara was therefore able to watch over all the ten directions at once. At the top of the painting can be seen a small image of Amitabha in his characteristic Dhyana mudra.

Compassion sets in motion an exponential multiplication of our powers. We might even feel as though we have the power of a thousand arms, a thousand eyes..... You can see that it is very nicely finished, complete with many fine details one can view in the photo below. It is are very rare art-antique in today,please do not miss it.
