① Product Overview (SEO Core)

This Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) Mini Thangka Pendant is a hand-painted Tibetan thangka artwork presented in a portable pendant format. Created by a lineage-trained Tibetan artist, the painting is executed with traditional natural mineral pigments and follows established iconographic proportions.

② Deity Introduction

Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) is a principal manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, embodying great compassion in Tibetan Buddhism. Widely revered as a protector deity of the Tibetan plateau, Chenrezig represents compassionate intention and the commitment to benefit beings.

In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, he is associated with the well-known six-syllable mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum”, and is honored together with Manjushri and Vajrapani as the “Three Family Lords,” representing compassion, wisdom, and power within Vajrayana systems.

③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic

Four-Armed Chenrezig is traditionally associated with cultivating compassion, emotional balance, and a peaceful heart. Practice is often framed as developing altruistic motivation and integrating kindness into daily life, rather than pursuing outcome-driven expectations.

The symbolism of his form is used as a contemplative framework: the four arms are associated with the Four Immeasurables (loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, equanimity), while the overall white body tone is traditionally associated with purity and clarity of intention.
