☛ MITRUGPA:
Mitrugpa is known as one of the eight major Bodhisattvas, represents the virtue of patience, which is often regarded as one of Buddhism’s most difficult but beneficial disciplines. Mitrugpa is also known as Akshobhya in Sanskrit. Akshobhya means “unwavering.”

Mitrugpa teachings encourage practitioners to have a calm and steady mind in stressful situations, fostering spiritual progress and conquering negative emotions and barriers on the route to enlightenment.

He is often mentioned in Northern Buddhism’s Mahayana Sutras and Tantra literature. In paintings and sculptures, he is easily identified by his buddha-like form, blue body color, and left hand holding an upright vajra scepter. He is a Tantric depiction of Buddha that is commonly adorned with jewels and a crown.

☛ LOST-WAX SYSTEM:
This Mitrugpa is made by the process of the Lost-Wax system. The lost-wax process, also known as investment casting, is a time-honored technique used to create metal sculptures. It involves several steps that have been practiced for thousands of years. Skilled artisans begin by sculpting a detailed wax model, capturing every intricate detail of the desired sculpture. The wax model is then coated with a ceramic shell, formed by multiple layers of ceramic material. Once the shell has cured, the wax is melted and drained out, leaving behind a cavity. Molten metal is poured into the cavity, creating a precise replica of the original wax model. After the metal has cooled and solidified, the ceramic shell is carefully removed, revealing the final metal sculpture.

☛ ABOUT THANGKA COLOR FINISHING:
The Mitrugpa is adorned with traditional colors, creating a captivating aesthetic through a combination of gold and various hues. This painting technique follows a time-honored process that aims to faithfully represent the Mitrugpa in accordance with traditional color descriptions. In the context of Buddhist statues, this approach holds great significance. Each statue has its own primary color, and it is crucial to depict the statue in its authentic shade.
