Large 19th-Century Japanese Granite Statue of Kannon, Goddess of Mercy and Compassion
This majestic 19th-century Japanese granite statue represents Kannon, the Bodhisattva of Mercy and Compassion, revered in Buddhism for her boundless compassion and dedication to alleviating suffering. As a Bodhisattva, Kannon has prolonged her own enlightenment to remain in this world, offering solace and guidance to those in need, embodying the very essence of compassion and mercy.
Carved with remarkable attention to detail, this statue portrays Kannon holding an unopened lotus and a leaf, symbols that carry deep spiritual significance. The lotus represents the potential for spiritual awakening and enlightenment within all beings, awaiting the right conditions to flower. The leaf complements this symbolism, signifying the nurturing aspect of the Buddha nature, which requires patience and cultivation to fully bloom.
This statue stands as a powerful reminder of hope, compassion, and the possibility of enlightenment, offering a serene and contemplative presence in any space. The granite material adds to its durability and timeless beauty, giving it a solid, grounded presence.
