Description: magnificently detailed statue of Jizo, beloved Asian Mahayana bodhisattva/Buddha especially beloved in Zen (Japanese) and Chinese Buddhism One of my buyers recently deciphered the very fine writing on the sides of Jizo's robe: When I see the misery of those in this world their sadness becomes mine. Oh that my monks robes were wide enough to gather up all the suffering people in this floating world. Nothing makes me more happy than the vow to save everyone Jizo is a protector of travelers, women, animals and especially children designed and created in a small studio in Oregon made from a superior quality "ivory look" resinthe statue is engraved on the bottom with the words "most compassionate Jizo bodhisattva" with this mantra below 5.5" tallweighs 5 ounces contemporary and brand newTraditionally, he is seen as the guardian of children, including dead, stillborn, aborted or miscarried children, women, especially pregnant women, firemen, pilgrims and travelers". He helps children that have died navigate the transition between life and death. There is a tradition in Zen monasteries in Japan of offering Jizo ceremonies to help ease the grief of women who have lost childrenJizo's familiar staff, called a shakujo in Japanese, is a monks staff hung with metal rings, used to alert insects and small animals of his approach, so that he will not accidentally harm them Buy With Confidence: We are practicing Buddhists We respect the importance of these religious materials We use the same products that we sell USA-based " View more great items
