Product Overview

This Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Thangka Pendant is a hand-painted Tibetan miniature thangka, carefully housed in a gold-plated copper Gawu (gau) box. With its balanced rectangular format and refined metalwork, this piece is designed for both portable use and personal altar display.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism and represents the practice of great vows—the realization of compassion and wisdom through consistent, ethical action. This pendant is created as a cultural and contemplative Buddhist artwork, emphasizing symbolism, craftsmanship, and long-term value rather than decoration alone.


The Deity: Samantabhadra Bodhisattva 

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva embodies steadfast commitment, moral integrity, and disciplined practice. He is traditionally depicted riding a six-tusked white elephant, symbolizing strength, stability, and the ability to carry profound vows into daily life.

Within Buddhist tradition, Samantabhadra:

  • Is a central figure of the Huayan (Avatamsaka) tradition

  • Forms the Huayan Three Saints together with Shakyamuni Buddha and Manjushri Bodhisattva

  • Is associated with the Ten Great Vows, a foundational guide for Mahayana Buddhist practice

He is also widely regarded as a guardian bodhisattva for:

  • Chinese Zodiac: Dragon & Snake

  • Western Zodiac: Capricorn
