Details: A broad and powerful example of a 16th century Dhyani Buddha Akshobya. The cosmic Buddha is seated in his customary depiction with his hands in bhumishparsha mudra, wearing a florally decorated close fitting robe across his broad, powerful and shapely frame, upright in vajraparyankasana on a fine double lotus pedestal supporting a vajra. As a cosmic rather than historical Buddha he is here depicted with the crown of a Bodhisattva. Akshobhya is one of the five transcendent cosmic Buddhas in the Tibetan Pantheon. As one of the five, he helps in overcoming the affliction of anger, one of the most potent obstructions to enlightenment and a dangerous affliction to human beings. He represents the transformation of anger into absolute perfection wisdom. Akshobhya is also the parent Buddha of such important tantric manifestations as Hevajra. Age: 16th Century (Possibly 15th Century). Height: 15 cm. Remarks: As can be seen from the above photos this pieces still has one of its consecrated scrolls. |
