Auspicious Mantra Filling and Consecration at Nidhiratna
At Nidhiratna, we honor the rich Buddhist tradition of bringing handcrafted statues to life through auspicious mantra filling and consecration. Our meticulous process ensures each statue embodies spiritual depth and artistic mastery.
Filling the Buddhist Handmade Statue
Our handmade statues feature a hollow body with an opening at the bottom. A monk carefully inserts auspicious mantra rolls and materials, starting from the head and working down to the body and base.
Materials for Filling
Each deity’s mantra is unique and is placed near the statue's heart. Materials used include mantra rolls, fragrant wood, incense powders, and other auspicious items.
The Filling Process
A qualified monk or Lamala selects an auspicious date for the ceremony. Several statues can be filled in one day, beginning with a thorough cleaning and perfuming. The ritual is performed early in the morning on an empty stomach.
Sealing the Statue
Once the statue is filled, the bottom plate is replaced and sealed. If the bottom does not have a double vajra engraving, a paper one is attached. Monks chant mantras throughout the process.
