In this noisy world, people's hearts often need a sense of tranquility, and those ancient beliefs, like a beacon, lead us through the tunnel of time to explore spiritual solace. Among the many deities of Buddhism, there is a name that always brings infinite peace and power to people - Jizo King Bodhisattva. Today, I would like to discuss with you not only the spiritual significance of Jizo King Bodhisattva, but also an art treasure that can touch the heart - a small leaf red sandalwood gold Jizo King Bodhisattva statue. In ancient Buddhist scriptures, the image of King Jizo Bodhisattva is everywhere.
He is known as one of the four great bodhisattvas, and with his boundless compassion and vast will, he vows to save all beings who are suffering, especially those who are suffering in hell. He swore that he would never become a Buddha until all sentient beings were redeemed and the Pure Land reappeared. So, who is this great bodhisattva and why did he choose such a hard vow? The image of Jizo King Bodhisattva represents faith, hope and salvation, and his story and the power of his wishes give believers courage and determination in the face of life's suffering.
This statue of Jizo King Bodhisattva is a work created by craftsmen, with a size of 23*23*59cm and a weight of 2800g, revealing its extraordinary ingenuity and value. The material was chosen for India's precious small-leaved red sandalwood, a wood favored by sculptors for its hardness, deep colour and clear grain. In terms of craftsmanship, it is even more meticulous, and every carving strives for perfection. The Bodhisattva's face is square and solemn, and the smile on his face is quiet and elegant, as if to say to the believers, no matter what difficulties you encounter, keep your heart at peace.
His eyes were gentle and staring into the distance, as if he was constantly searching for beings in need of salvation. The posture of his hands shows his great compassion - his left hand is lightly holding the orb, and the right hand is holding a Zen staff, which is both solemn and kind. I have to say that the most attractive thing about this Bodhisattva statue is the gorgeous gold clothes. The craftsmen hand-painted auspicious flower and grass patterns with gold color, and each stroke reveals the pursuit and respect for beauty. The smooth and natural pattern of the clothes and the folds of the skirt are lifelike, which seems to have both texture and vitality, making the whole Buddha statue more noble.
The backlight behind the Buddha statue is a hollow design, with brilliant gold and gorgeous ornamentation, showing the craftsmanship and meticulousness. The standing double-layer upturned rosette, the lotus petals are full, and the multi-level design not only looks dignified and atmospheric, but also highlights the fineness of the carving process. This statue of Jizo King Bodhisattva is not only a sacred object in religious beliefs, but it can also become a beautiful decoration in the home and enhance our quality of life. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of daily life, it allows us to have a moment of tranquility and contemplation, and touch the peace and depth of our hearts.
