Buddha statues are the focal point of most Buddhist altars. They are a visual aid for daily meditative practices, they serve as the object of offering for the collection of merits, and they bless the surrounding environment and all who see them.
Most statues have a hollow body and base, which is considered inauspicious if left empty. Therefore, in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Buddha statues are always filled with mantras, holy items such as relics, precious pills & protector rice, and other substances such as incense, medicinal herbs & dried flowers before being blessed and consecrated.
In this manner, the blessings of the Buddha statue are multiplied exponentially as every action is performed in relations to a multitude of holy objects instead of just one.
