Acala Vidyaraja (Acala Wisdom King) Tibetan Thangka Gawu Pendant Hand-Painted • Gilded Copper Gawu Box • Guardian for Rooster & Aries (56 × 45 mm)

Product Overview

This Acala Vidyaraja (Acala Wisdom King) Tibetan Thangka Gawu Pendant is a fully hand-painted Vajrayana sacred artwork, created to embody the power of burning karmic obstacles and purifying the body and mind.

Acala Vidyaraja—also known as Fudo Myoo—is the foremost of the Five Wisdom Kings in Esoteric Buddhism. He represents unyielding determination, fearless wisdom, and compassionate force, manifesting wrath not from anger, but from the vow to liberate beings who are difficult to subdue.

Housed in a finely crafted gilded copper Gawu box, this pendant functions as a portable shrine, suitable for wearing, carrying, or placement on a personal altar.

Acala Vidyaraja – Meaning & Spiritual Role

Acala Vidyaraja is traditionally revered as:

• The chief of the Five Great Wisdom Kings

• The command-emanation of Vairocana Buddha

• A protector who cuts through ignorance and stabilizes the mind

Core Symbolism
