Product description: Prajna paramita: Prajna Paramita symbolizes the essence of transcendent wisdom and the journey towards enlightenment. Prajna Paramita is an important concept in Mahayana Buddhism, transcending the limitations of ordinary knowledge and understanding the true essence of reality. Prajna means wisdom, Paramita means perfection, hence Prajna Paramita translates to "the perfection of Wisdom”. Portrayed in a feminine form, Prajna Paramita is not merely a statue; its significance extends far beyond its physical manifestation. She is also revered as the “Mother of all Buddhas”. This personification symbolizes the nurturing and compassionate aspect of wisdom, that guides spiritual seekers on the path to awakening.
The bronze statue of Prajna Paramita is depicted in a standing posture with nine heads arranged in three tiers, which symbolizes the ability to perceive the suffering of sentient beings in all directions. She has 22 arms, each holding various symbolic objects representing compassion, wisdom, and the texts known as the Prajna Paramita sutras. These sutras emphasize the transcendental wisdom that leads to enlightenment and the realization of emptiness (shunyata). The dramatic portrayal of Amitabha Buddha atop represents the harmonious integration of wisdom and infinite compassion, emphasizing the importance of both aspects, fostering a deeper understanding of the path to spiritual awakening. The beautiful antique green patina on the statue evokes a sense of timelessness, as if nature itself has gently embraced the statue, imparting an aura of age and wisdom. The contrasting golden patina and the impeccable attention to details, lends an air of dignity and nobility to the statue enhancing its classical beauty; its beauty lies not only in its physical form but in the spiritual significance it carries for those who contemplate its symbolism. The concept of Prajna Paramita stands as a profound beacon, illuminating the path to transcendence beyond the confines of ordinary comprehension. The statue is certainly an enduring legacy of artwork showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of our Cambodian artisan.
