Yamantaka (Vajrabhairava) Mini Thangka Pendant Hand-Painted • Mineral Pigments • Rebgong Tibetan Lineage • 4 × 5 cm

① Product Overview

This Yamantaka (Vajrabhairava) Mini Thangka Pendant is a high-grade Tibetan Buddhist art piece, crafted as a portable thangka pendant and presented in a 925 sterling silver protective case. The painting is fully hand-painted by a lama artist using traditional natural mineral pigments, following the orthodox standards of the Rebgong (Amdo Tibetan) artistic lineage.

Created as part of the Rebgong Thangka Series, this work reflects the region’s emphasis on complex iconography, precise proportions, and durable mineral-based coloration. It is crafted and presented as a cultural, artistic, and devotional object rather than a factory-produced accessory.

② Deity Introduction

Yamantaka, also known as Vajrabhairava (Sanskrit: Yamāntaka), is a principal yidam deity in the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism and belongs to the Highest Yoga Tantra (Anuttarayoga Tantra) system. He is regarded as the wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of wisdom.

Within Buddhist symbolism, Yamantaka represents the transformative power of wisdom, compassion, and protective awareness, expressing the subjugation of ignorance, fear, and conceptual fixation through enlightened insight.

③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic

Yamantaka is traditionally associated with practices that emphasize confronting and transforming deeply rooted afflictions through disciplined contemplation and correct tantric transmission. His iconography highlights the application of wisdom to overcome fear, confusion, and habitual patterns.

Rather than promising outcomes, this form of practice underscores motivation, inner discipline, and alignment with established Vajrayana principles and lineage-based instruction.
