Bodhisattva - Antique Koh Ker Style Mounted Bronze Hevajra Statue - 24cm/10"
Measures (Height) 24cm/10"
An antique 10th century Koh Ker 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 symbolism is not merely intellectual but is meant to be experienced through tantric meditation practices. Practitioners seek to embody the qualities and realizations represented by Hevajra in their own consciousness. The goal is not to merely understand his symbolism but to transform one's mind and perception to align with the non-dual, compassionate, and wisdom-filled aspects that Hevajra represents.
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.
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.
The sculpture is mounted on a wood base.
Styled after artistic techniques prevalent in the time of the powerful Khmer Empire of South East Asia. This traditional in appearance piece is sure to add a unique touch to any room of your home or workplace.
