Jowo Shakyamuni Buddha Statue from Nepal | 24K Gold Fire-Gilded Copper Sculpture

Handcrafted by master artisans of Nepal, this Jowo Shakyamuni Buddha Statue is a breathtaking embodiment of Tibetan sacred art, sculpted from copper using the lost wax technique and 3D carving, then enhanced with gold fire-gilding and a hand-painted golden face for a luminous finish. Known as the "Precious Lord," Jowo Rinpoche depicts Shakyamuni Buddha at the age of twelve and mirrors the most venerated statue enshrined in Lhasa's holy Jokhang Temple, believed to carry the living blessings of the Buddha himself. Adorned with a regal Five-Buddha Crown, a stunning semi-precious inlaid floral necklace and elongated earrings reflecting his royal origins, the Buddha is draped in an intricately hand-carved ceremonial robe and seated serenely upon a double lotus pedestal. His left hand cradles the Patra Bowl representing compassion while his right hand rests in the Bhumisparsha Mudra. Whether gracing your personal altar or sacred space, this magnificent sculpture is more than a work of art — it is a powerful object of devotion that brings peace and divine presence.

Jowo Rinpoche

Jowo Rinpoche is regarded as one of the most sacred and revered statues in Tibetan Buddhism. Believed to be blessed by Shakyamuni Buddha himself, this holy image represents the Buddha in his youthful form shortly after attaining enlightenment. Housed in the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, Tibet, the original statue is considered the spiritual nucleus of Tibetan Buddhist devotion. This revered figure was said to be crafted during the Buddha’s own lifetime and later brought to Tibet by Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, symbolizing the merging of Indian and Chinese Buddhist traditions. The Jowo Rinpoche statue radiates divine serenity and embodies the enlightened essence of the historical Buddha, offering deep spiritual inspiration. Its peaceful expression and signature mudras (hand gestures) reflect profound teachings of compassion, inner peace, mindfulness, and the path to liberation from suffering.
