Shakyamuni Buddha Mini Thangka Pendant Hand-Painted • Mineral Pigments • Menri Style • Tibetan Origin • 4 × 5 cm

① Product Overview

This Shakyamuni Buddha Mini Thangka Pendant is a finely hand-painted Tibetan thangka created in the Menri (Miansa) style, a classical and highly standardized Tibetan painting lineage. The artwork is rendered with natural mineral pigments and presented in a silver gawu-style case inspired by the Dunhuang Nine-Colored Deer motif.

Produced in a compact card-format thangka, this piece reflects the Menri tradition’s emphasis on precise proportions, visual clarity, and orthodox iconography, adapted into a refined miniature form suitable for close viewing and personal devotion.

② Deity Introduction

Shakyamuni Buddha, born as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism and the central figure of the Buddhist tradition. Revered as the fully awakened Buddha, he represents enlightenment achieved through insight, discipline, and compassion.

In Buddhist doctrine, Shakyamuni Buddha embodies the realization of the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and Dependent Origination, forming the foundational framework of Buddhist philosophy and practice.

③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic

Shakyamuni Buddha is traditionally associated with awakening, clarity of understanding, and the cultivation of right view and conduct. His presence in Buddhist practice emphasizes reflection on suffering, its causes, cessation, and the path leading beyond cyclic existence.

Within practice logic, devotion to Shakyamuni Buddha supports study, contemplation, and ethical discipline as gradual paths toward wisdom rather than reliance on external assurances.

④ Combined Practice Logic (If Applicable)

Not applicable.
This product features a single deity presentation.
