Product Overview
This Yamantaka (Vajrabhairava) & Five Jambhalas Thangka Pendant is a high-level Vajrayana masterpiece, fully hand-painted on both sides in 18K gold, created in the rigorous Rebgong (Regong) artistic tradition.
The front depicts Yamantaka, the ultimate wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, surrounded above by the Avataṃsaka Trinity (Huayan Three Saints), establishing supreme doctrinal authority and wisdom lineage.
The reverse presents the Five Jambhalas (Five Wealth Deities), presiding over the five directions and five forms of wealth, with Amitabha Buddha above, offering compassionate protection and guidance.
Encased in a full 18K gold Gau box with sapphire crystal mirrors, this pendant represents a complete Vajrayana structure: wisdom as the root, wealth as the function, compassion as the safeguard.
Front Image Description: Yamantaka (Vajrabhairava)
The front image portrays Yamantaka, the most powerful wrathful emanation of Manjushri, embodying the force that subdues death, ignorance, and fear at their root.
Above Yamantaka appears the Avataṃsaka Trinity (Huayan Three Saints):
-
Vairocana Buddha
-
Manjushri
-
Samantabhadra
Their presence signifies the perfect unity of truth (Vairocana), wisdom (Manjushri), and practice (Samantabhadra), reinforcing that Yamantaka’s wrathful form arises entirely from enlightened wisdom and disciplined conduct.
Iconographic Structure
-
Yamantaka is rendered with nine heads arranged in three vertical tiers, a composition requiring exceptional mastery.
-
The uppermost central head reveals Manjushri, gazing forward with serene compassion—clearly affirming that wrath is an expression of wisdom, not aggression.
-
With thirty-four arms, Yamantaka wields numerous ritual implements, each symbolizing precise methods for cutting through ignorance, ego-clinging, and existential fear.
This form represents the Vajrayana principle:
“To subdue negativity is Great Power (Wei);
to uphold goodness is Great Virtue (De).”
Reverse Image: Five Jambhalas & Amitabha Buddha — Complete Wealth System
The reverse side features the Five Jambhalas (Five Wealth Deities), collectively governing the five directions and five types of wealth in Vajrayana Buddhism.
Meaning & Symbolism
-
The Five Jambhalas represent the opening of five distinct wealth repositories, including:

Above them appears Amitabha, offering compassionate oversight and ensuring that wealth remains aligned with wisdom and ethical conduct.
Together, they express a complete structure:
Wealth grows through merit,
is protected by compassion,
and must be guided by wisdom.
