Collection: Karmapa Statues - Master of Compassionate Action
Karmapa, meaning “Man of Action,” is the first incarnate Lama in Tibetan history and an emanation of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. His statues capture the essence of his divine wisdom, spiritual power, and compassionate action. The iconic Black Crown, crafted from the hair of 100,000 dakinis, symbolizes his ability to grant liberation to those who witness it, while his robes and Vajra reflect the unity of body, speech, and mind in enlightened practice. Each statue embodies meticulous craftsmanship, from detailed facial expressions to the intricate folds of ceremonial robes, designed to inspire devotion and convey the sacred lineage of the Karmapa. These sculptures serve not only as artistic masterpieces but also as powerful reminders of the Karmapa’s role in preserving the Mahamudra teachings and guiding beings toward liberation. Owning or viewing a Karmapa statue is a way to connect with centuries of wisdom and compassionate action.
