Zaki Lhamo Thangka Pendant – Past & Present of the Guardian Goddess Pure Hand-Painted Tibetan Thangka in Copper Gau Box (18 × 45 mm)

Product Overview

This Zaki Lhamo Thangka Pendant – “Past & Present” is a pure hand-painted Tibetan thangka, housed in a traditional copper gau box, designed for personal devotion, protection, and symbolic reflection.

The artwork represents Zaki Lhamo, a powerful Tibetan Buddhist Dharma Protector and Female Wealth Goddess, whose story embodies redemption, rebirth, and the transformation of karma. This miniature thangka emphasizes not material excess, but balance, protection, and renewal through wisdom.

The Story of Zaki Lhamo – Past & Present

From Suffering to Redemption

According to widely preserved Tibetan oral tradition, Zaki Lhamo’s previous life was believed to be that of a noble woman from the Han Chinese court, whose life ended tragically due to political conflict. Her unresolved spirit was later guided by a great Buddhist master toward liberation.

Because women were traditionally not permitted inside monastic halls, she remained near the Zaki area, where Zaki Monastery was later established. Through this journey, her identity transformed from suffering into protection—symbolizing the Buddhist path of rebirth, redemption, and karmic release.

This story reflects Tibetan Buddhism’s deep belief in compassion, inclusion, and the possibility of awakening across lifetimes.
