Cundi Bodhisattva & Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) 18K Gold Double-Sided Hand-Painted Gawu Thangka Pendant Rebgong Art · Obstacle Purification & Wisdom Accomplishment

Product Overview

This Cundi Bodhisattva & Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) Gawu Thangka Pendant is a double-sided, fully hand-painted Tibetan thangka, crafted in the Rebgong (Regong) artistic tradition and completed entirely with pure 18K gold.

The front and reverse present two highly revered figures in Esoteric Buddhism, each representing a distinct yet complementary path of practice:

• Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) — the embodiment of wisdom, compassion, and the power to subdue obstacles

• Cundi Bodhisattva — associated with purification of karmic obscurations, growth of merit, and accomplishment in both worldly and spiritual pursuits

Encased in a solid 18K gold Gawu box with double sapphire crystal glass, this piece is designed as a portable shrine, suitable for dedicated practitioners, collectors, and those engaged in long-term cultivation rather than superficial belief.

Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) – Master of Obstacle Removal

Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, is revered as the founder of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and regarded as a manifestation of the enlightened activity of all Buddhas across the three times.

Iconographic features depicted in this thangka include:

• The khāṭvāṅga (trident staff) adorned with symbolic elements representing mastery over life, death, and illusion

• The five-pronged vajra in the right hand, symbolizing indestructible wisdom

• The wish-fulfilling jewel bowl in the left hand, representing compassionate activity

His mantra practice is traditionally associated with:

• Dissolving external and internal obstacles

• Stabilizing the mind and strengthening meditative focus

• Supporting rites related to transition, liberation, and remembrance

Rather than offering instant results, Guru Rinpoche’s practice emphasizes laying a stable foundation for genuine spiritual progress.

Cundi Bodhisattva – Purification & Accomplishment

Cundi Bodhisattva is widely venerated in Esoteric Buddhism for her role in cutting through afflictions and purifying karmic obscurations, while simultaneously supporting the accumulation of merit and wisdom.

Traditional associations of Cundi practice include:

• Purification of mental and karmic obstacles

• Growth of wisdom, clarity, and disciplined effort

• Support for both worldly endeavors (career, responsibility, study) and spiritual cultivation

Her mantra practice is understood as a method of harmonizing intention, effort, and ethical conduct, rather than a tool for material desire alone.

Combined Practice – Complementary Support

When practiced together, Guru Rinpoche and Cundi Bodhisattva are traditionally viewed as mutually reinforcing:

• Guru Rinpoche addresses obstacles, disruptions, and adverse conditions

• Cundi Bodhisattva strengthens merit, wisdom, and favorable conditions

This complementary relationship reflects a core principle of Vajrayāna practice:
removing hindrances while cultivating the causes of progress.

Such combined practice is traditionally approached with:

• Right motivation

• Respect for lineage and gradual training

• Guidance from qualified teachers when engaging in deeper methods

Artistic Origin – Rebgong (Regong) Tradition

This thangka is entirely hand-painted by Rebgong artists, whose work is internationally recognized for its fidelity to classical proportion systems and dense, complete detailing (满工).

Key features include:

• Scripturally accurate iconometry

• Mineral pigments layered with 18K gold application

• Balanced composition for both devotion and visual harmony

• Double-sided painting without compromise on detail

Rebgong thangkas are often regarded as collectible religious artworks, suitable for long-term preservation.
