It is not just the statue that is empty the statue has to be filled properly according to tradition. The bigger it is the more mantras etc you need and texts like LTK texts and Kangyur etc.
Then the face in particular has to be very good art. Very good art like you get here in Nepal. Best to get in Nepal.
So good planning take your time and try to do 5 stories high. I have the lineage of all the MB texts from Kangyur and the 5th Dalai Lama etc. pujas can start soon, no need to wait for the statue to finish.
So good to have the Medicine Buddha statue … from the side of Sutra Medicine Buddha is the most powerful deity, from Tantra side it is Heruka. So this is such a good idea , so good!
And for success reading Arya Sanghata sutra and the other sutras like Golden light.
With love and prayer

Join us in a monumental endeavor as we embark on building a five-storey high statue of the Medicine Buddha in Sri Lanka, a project of profound significance that extends healing and hope to the nation in times of crisis.
In 2021, Venerable Lekdron received a transformative vision from her teacher, Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche, to construct the awe-inspiring 5MB statue, envisaged as a beacon of healing for a country facing economic hardships, food emergencies, and social unrest.
Reflecting on her journey and the profound connection with her homeland, Venerable Lekdron shares, “I first met Lama Zopa Rinpoche in the 1990s, and his interest in Sri Lanka sparked a sense of destiny. Amidst the turmoil of recent years, Rinpoche’s call to build the 5MB statue resonated as a divine intervention.”
Your participation in this pilgrimage tour not only offers you a transformative experience but also contributes significantly to the 5MB Project’s progress. Every ticket sold contributes $500 AUD to the creation of the Medicine Buddha statue, symbolizing unity, healing, and spiritual renewal for Sri Lanka.
The 5MB Project embodies the compassionate vision of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, aiming to heal and uplift Sri Lanka in every possible way. Your support fuels the creation of a life-size prototype, destined to be consecrated and enshrined in a prominent Colombo temple, radiating blessings for generations to come.
