This Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Double-Sided Thangka Pendant is a fully hand-painted Tibetan miniature thangka, carefully enclosed within an ornate gold-plated copper Gawu (gau) box.
Both the front and back are painted by hand, forming a balanced visual and symbolic composition designed for long-term contemplation and mindful practice.
Compared to other variations, this edition presents a softer and more inward-focused depiction of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, paired with a meticulously painted Four-Direction Mandala on the reverse—emphasizing continuity, inner stability, and disciplined cultivation.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism and represents the realization of compassion and wisdom through consistent action.
In Buddhist tradition, he:
Is a key figure in the Huayan (Avatamsaka) tradition
Serves as the right attendant of Shakyamuni Buddha within the Huayan Three Saints
Is traditionally depicted riding a six-tusked white elephant, symbolizing strength, patience, and the ability to carry vows into daily life
This particular painting style highlights gentleness, composure, and inner clarity, making it especially suitable for reflective and meditative appreciation.
Samantabhadra is also revered as a guardian bodhisattva for:
Chinese Zodiac: Dragon & Snake
Western Zodiac: Capricorn
The reverse side features a hand-painted Four-Direction Mandala, a classical Buddhist symbolic form representing order, balance, and structured awareness.
Rather than functioning as superstition, mandalas are traditionally used as:
Visual anchors for concentration and contemplation
Symbolic maps of a harmonized inner space
Supports for maintaining discipline and clarity in personal practice
The warm color palette and symmetrical structure of this mandala reinforce a sense of grounded focus and continuity.
Together, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and the Four-Direction Mandala form a unified symbolic system:
Samantabhadra represents intention, ethical vows, and compassionate action
The Mandala represents structure, rhythm, and sustained cultivation
This pairing reflects the Mahayana principle that inner intention must be supported by consistent practice, making this pendant especially meaningful for those who value steadiness, responsibility, and long-term personal refinement.
