Antique Thai Style Seated Bronze Meditating Hevajra Statue - 30cm/12" Tall
Measures (Height) 30cm/12"
An antique Thai style bronze Hevajra statue. Hevajra is one of the main yidams (a fully enlightened being) in Tantric or Vajrayana Buddhism.
Hevajra, a complex and multifaceted deity in Vajrayana Buddhism, symbolizes the embodiment of enlightened wisdom, compassion, and transformation. His symbolism is deeply rooted in the esoteric traditions of Tantra.
Hevajra's nine faces symbolize the transcendence of dualities and the unification of opposites. In this unity, Hevajra represents the profound realization that all apparent contradictions are illusory and that enlightenment can only be found by transcending dualistic thinking.
Hevajra, with his wrathful appearance and intricate symbolism, serves as a profound guide on the path to spiritual realization within Vajrayana Buddhism. His imagery is a potent reminder of the inseparable nature of wisdom and compassion, the transcendence of dualities, and the transformative power of spiritual practice.
This meditating Hevajra sculpture depicts the deity in a serene yet powerful posture, embodying both the calmness of meditation and the dynamic energy of spiritual power.
Hevajra is presented here in a meditative posture, that involves a seated position with crossed legs, in the vajra asana (diamond posture). This position represents stability and the immovable nature of enlightenment. The calm expression on his face, despite the wrathful aspect of his appearance, signifies the peaceful state of an enlightened mind.
By meditating upon and embodying the symbolism of Hevajra, practitioners aim to realize the ultimate truth of non-duality and liberate themselves from the cycle of suffering, ultimately attaining enlightenment.
