Details
A stunning statue of Tantric Buddha Ucheyma, featuring a polished brass finish and full iconographic detail according to the Rinchen Lhantab collection of sadhanas compiled by His Holiness the 7th Panchen Lama.
Also known as Chinnamasta in Sanskrit, Ucheyma literally means “she whose head is severed.” Her iconography symbolises the clean and complete removal of the ego – the grasping at a separate self or individual identity. In general, our feelings of attachment or aversion arise because we have an ego to please, gratify and protect. However, in reality, this self or ‘I’ is illusory and does not really exist. Therefore, Ucheyma reveals this truth with the dramatic decapitation of her head. Her practice purifies the three delusions of ignorance, hatred and desire, and leads us swiftly to the attainment of Buddhahood.
Ucheyma’s right hand, extended downwards, holds a curved ritual chopper and her left hand holds aloft a blood-filled skullcup. Her head is severed and sits in the skullcup. The three severed blood vessels at the trunk of Ucheyma’s neck spurt three jets of blood that flow into the mouth of her own decapitated head and the mouths of her two attendants (not depicted). Standing amidst blazing wisdom fire, she is adorned with a crown of five dry skulls and wears a garland of fifty fresh heads around her neck. She holds a khatvanga (tantric ritual staff) on her left shoulder. Her right leg is straight, stepping on Kalarati while her left leg is bent, stepping on Bhairava.
Making offerings to her image makes a connection with this extremely potent Buddha, as her blessings become more powerful as times degenerate. Seeing her plants seeds of Enlightenment in our mindstream, and her image pacifies our immediate environment, clears negative energy and protects from negative interferences.
This Ucheyma statue can be personalised with traditional mantra insertion, brocade clothing such as a Tibetan-style tule and pangden, or a hand-painted face, using real gold dust. You can also offer pearls and semi-precious stones, as H.E. Tsem Rinpoche always encouraged the practice of making offerings to the Three Jewels, which creates the causes for us to attain the six paramitas (perfections).
Made by Kechara under the auspices of its founder and spiritual guide, H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche.
COMPLIMENTARY BLESSINGS
