Since emerging from the ancient texts of Mahayana Buddhism 2000 years ago, the Avalokiteshvara story has become known worldwide. He has evolved to become known as the “Bodhisattva of Compassion” to devotees because of his unwavering commitment to sentient life. Additionally, Avalokiteshvara is also known as Lokeshvara. Our beautiful standing Avalokiteshvara statue is a perfect addition for your meditation altar or monastery.
Standing Avalokiteshvara Statue Features
Our standing statue of Avalokiteshvara depicts him wearing the crown and jewels of a bodhisattva surrounded by a beautifully engraved frame. He displays the Varada “gift giving” mudra with his right hand and the Abhaya “protection” mudra with his left.
In addition, he holds the stem of a lotus flower in between the index finger and thumb of his left hand. The lotus grows up his arm and blossoms over his left shoulder. The blossoming lotus flower represents the fruits of enlightenment for those who follow the Dharma path.

Amitabha Buddha is engraved on Avalokiteshvara’s crown to show their close affiliation. Avalokiteshvara is also depicted with the third eye of wisdom between the brows on his forehead. Additionally, a beautiful ribbon is draped over his shoulders and over his right forearm.
