② Deity Introduction

Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva, known as the Bodhisattva of Great Strength, is one of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism and a central figure representing the power of wisdom in action. His name signifies the attainment of great inner strength through enlightened insight.

Within Pure Land Buddhism, Mahāsthāmaprāpta serves as the right attendant of Amitābha Buddha, together with Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, forming the revered Western Three Saints. In this context, he embodies wisdom, clarity, and protective strength grounded in spiritual cultivation.

③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic

Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva is traditionally associated with wisdom, concentration, and disciplined effort. His presence in Buddhist practice highlights the principle that inner strength arises from sustained cultivation of insight and mindful awareness.

Rather than focusing on immediate outcomes, devotion to Mahāsthāmaprāpta emphasizes intention, consistency, and the gradual alignment of mind and action. The imagery supports contemplative practice rooted in balance, resolve, and clarity of purpose.

④ Combined Practice Logic

This artwork features a single-deity composition and does not represent a paired or dual-deity practice. The devotional focus is centered solely on Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva, emphasizing unified cultivation of wisdom and inner strength rather than combined symbolic functions.

⑤ Artistic Origin & Lineage

The pendant is created within the tradition of Rebgong (Regong) thangka art, originating from the Amdo region. Rebgong thangka is recognized for its dense yet balanced compositions, refined line drawing, and strict adherence to proportional and iconographic standards.

Each piece is hand-painted in full detail, following a lineage-based transmission of techniques passed down through master-apprentice relationships. This approach distinguishes the artwork from factory-produced items, positioning it firmly within an artistic and cultural lineage.
