Eighteen-armed Chundi Statue | Mother of Seventy Million Buddhas

Invoke the boundless compassion and purifying power with this Eighteen-Armed Chundi statue, also revered in Japan as Juntei Kannon, expertly hand-cast in copper by master artisans in Nepal. Finished with a rich chemical oxidation process, the sculpture glows with warm brown tones that lend it an aged character. Every jeweled ornament, flowing robe fold and delicately rendered hand reflects the extraordinary skill of Nepalese metalworkers.

Chundi is seated serenely in lotus posture atop a beautifully tiered lotus pedestal, her downcast eyes and jeweled crown embodying compassionate stillness. Her eighteen arms fan outward in a radiant display of enlightened activity, holding symbolic attributes — while her two central hands rest in Abhaya and Varada mudras, bestowing fearlessness and compassionate blessings. Standing an impressive 24 inches tall and weighing 23.16 kg, this substantial oxidized copper Chundi statue makes a striking centerpiece for a monastery or dedicated meditation altar.

Please note: The statue in the photograph is the actual piece for sale, ensuring authenticity and exclusivity.

About Chundi Kannon (Juntei Kannon)

Juntei Kannon, the Japanese form of Chundi Kannon, is a revered manifestation of Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, worshipped especially in the esoteric traditions of Shingon and Tendai Buddhism. Known as the “Pure One” and the “Mother of Buddhas,” she embodies purification, wisdom, and the compassionate power to overcome obstacles and guide beings toward enlightenment. Her serene presence symbolizes the union of compassion and awakened wisdom, while her mantra, “On Shirei Shirei Juntei Sowaka” (Om Cundi Svaha), is chanted to purify karma, remove negativity, strengthen spiritual practice, and cultivate inner clarity and compassion.
