② Deity Introduction
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas in Chinese Buddhism and serves as the right attendant of Śākyamuni Buddha. He embodies moral virtue, righteous conduct, and great action, representing the realization of truth through practice rather than theory alone.
Together with Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra forms a complementary relationship between wisdom and action. Along with Vairocana Buddha, they are revered as the Huayan Three Saints.
③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is traditionally associated with disciplined conduct, perseverance, and ethical responsibility. His presence in Buddhist practice emphasizes that spiritual cultivation is grounded in consistent right action and sustained commitment.
Contemplation of Samantabhadra encourages practitioners to align intention with behavior, cultivating steadiness, determination, and integrity as foundational qualities on the path.
④ Combined Practice Logic
This artwork depicts a single-deity composition. Combined or dual-deity practice logic does not apply to this piece.
⑤ Artistic Origin & Lineage
This thangka pendant follows the artistic tradition of Rebgong (Regong) thangka art, originating from the Amdo region. This lineage is recognized for its refined line work, structured composition, and use of traditional mineral pigments.
Rebgong thangka painting is transmitted through master-apprentice lineage, emphasizing hand execution and spiritual discipline rather than factory production.
Visual Composition & Iconographic Details (Based on the Artwork)
The artwork depicts Samantabhadra Bodhisattva seated upon a white elephant, a classical iconographic feature symbolizing steadfast practice and unwavering conduct. The bodhisattva is presented in a calm, centered posture, reinforcing a sense of balance and compositional stability.
A circular aureole surrounds the central figure, detailed with fine ornamental patterns. Flowing cloud motifs in red, blue, and white encircle the composition, creating visual movement within a controlled circular structure. The layered background enhances depth while maintaining symmetry.
The thangka is enclosed within a round silver pendant frame, forming a compact and symmetrical format suitable for portable devotional use. The reverse side features an engraved silver design, completing the double-sided presentation.
