Zaki Lhamo – Past & Present
From Suffering to Redemption
According to Tibetan oral tradition, Zaki Lhamo’s previous life is believed to have been marked by suffering and injustice. Through the guidance of Buddhist masters, her path transformed from hardship into awakening.
This transformation reflects the Tibetan Buddhist understanding of karma, rebirth, and redemption—the belief that even deep suffering can become a source of wisdom and compassionate strength. Her story is widely regarded as a symbol of renewal, resilience, and liberation across lifetimes.
The Female Wealth Guardian of Tibet
Zaki Lhamo is revered throughout Tibet as:
-
A Dharma Protector, safeguarding practitioners and households
-
A Female Wealth Deity, associated with fortune, stability, and auspicious conditions
-
A guardian who supports people in overcoming obstacles that block progress and balance
Rather than representing excess or desire-driven gain, her symbolism emphasizes responsible prosperity, ethical action, and long-term stability.
Mantra Seed Syllable on the Back
The back of the pendant is inscribed with Zaki Lhamo’s mantra seed syllable, an essential element in Tibetan Buddhist visualization and meditation traditions.
-
Seed syllables are understood as the condensed essence of a deity’s enlightened qualities
-
Often used alongside mantra recitation and focused awareness
-
Traditionally associated with clarity of mind, purification, discipline, and inner stability
This element adds depth to the pendant, making it not only a visual artwork but also a symbolic contemplative object.
The Combined Symbolism of Deity & Mantra
In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, a deity image and its mantra seed syllable are often used together, integrating outer contemplation and inner cultivation.

-
The front-facing image of Zaki Lhamo represents active protection, courage, and compassionate strength, helping one face external challenges with steadiness.

Not only guarding against obstacles, but encouraging responsibility, clarity, and personal growth.
