A Tibetan Meditative Buddha For Your Home

When you think of Tibet you might think about breathtaking hills, beautiful mountains, little kids in their signature red robes, and people who are on a pilgrimage to the shrines of Buddha. The relationship between Buddhism and Tibet is inseparable. You must have heard of Tibet and its influence on Buddhism. Tibet is known for its rich Buddhism culture, the Buddhism Culture that they follow is called ‘Mahayana Buddhism’.

What makes this so different from its roots in Indian Buddhism is the number of Buddhas they worship. In this religion, there are not one or two but many different types of Buddha who reside in their own spiritual realms. In Mahayana Buddhism, we can find different buddha with different sets of powers. They have distinct blessings for their followers.

What is Unique about the Tibetan Meditative Buddha statue?

In Tibetan Buddhism, the meditative buddha is also known as Amitabha. He is believed to reside in the West direction and hence he is called The Buddha Of West Pure Land. He lives in his own realm called Sukhavati. His pure land is said to be the homeland of the pious souls who have worshipped him and died, all of them will be reborn in Pure Land.

It is said that he was a King in his human form many eons ago, he renounced everything and became a monk named Dharmakara. His name translates into Treasure of Dharma. He is known for making 48 vows to save innocent souls from pain and suffering.

Before he achieved enlightenment he made 48 vows and said that if he is unable to fulfill even a single one of them, he will not achieve enlightenment.

• Fulfill the wishes – the moment we are born in this world we begin to have needs that must be fulfilled. Later on in life, these needs turn into wishes and then desires. We work hard to fulfill all our wishes without a doubt no matter what it is. One of the ways that might help you to fulfill your wishes or get you closer to them is by offering homage to Lord Buddha.

• Blessed with positive energy- Many Buddhist and spiritual leaders believe that by having a brass buddha statue in one’s house can increase positive energy by many folds.
• Eliminate Vastu Issues – in ancient times when our ancestors lived in a big house they would follow the scripture of placement of things in a house and how a house should be constructed, this scripture was known as Vaastu Shastra. In older times when people had bigger houses it was easier to follow it but now in this age, it is not possible to follow all the rules which result in vastu dosha/ problems. These Dosha if left without a solution can have conflicting results. To prevent it from happening many vastu experts believe that having a buddha statue at home can prevent the vastu dosha from getting worse or in some cases totally remove their negative aspects.
