Crafted from durable copper alloy, the sculpture features a radiant gold-gilded face and a richly detailed 24K gold fire-gilded surface that enhances both sacred beauty and lasting durability. Every element has been carefully hand-carved and refined by skilled Newari artisans from Patan, Nepal, preserving generations of Himalayan Buddhist metalworking tradition. Adorned with semi-precious stones and intricate floral motif carvings, the statue reflects profound devotion, artistry, and spiritual significance in every detail.

About Jowo Rinpoche 

Jowo Rinpoche Shakyamuni Buddha 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.
