Who Is Vairocana Buddha

Vairocana Buddha—also known as Mahavairocana, Birocana, or Nampar Nangdze—is regarded as the supreme, central Buddha in Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism.

• He is the principal deity of both the Vajradhatu and Garbhadhatu Mandalas, forming the doctrinal core of esoteric Buddhism.

• Vairocana represents the ultimate nature of reality, cosmic order, and universal law, often described as the source of all enlightened wisdom.

• Iconographically, he is commonly shown seated in full meditation posture, embodying perfect balance and clarity.

• As one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, Vairocana is traditionally associated as the guardian Buddha for Goat and Monkey, as well as the Western zodiac signs Leo and Aquarius.

Rebgong Cui Thangka & Intangible Cultural Heritage

Rebgong Thangka originates from Rebgong (Tongren, Qinghai) and is officially recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage of China.

Cui Thangka is a highly refined sub-style within the Rebgong tradition, distinguished by:

• Dominant use of mineral green and lapis-blue tones, symbolizing the vastness of space and the purity of enlightened awareness

• Complex layered pigment techniques, requiring exceptional control and long maturation time

• A visual language that blends cosmic symbolism with disciplined iconography

This pendant reflects the highest principles of Rebgong Cui Thangka—where color, structure, and symbolism merge into a calm yet powerful visual presence.

Artistic Symbolism & Visual Language

• Universe within a single stroke: fine gold powder forms star-like spirals around sacred Sanskrit elements

Together, these elements express Dharmadhatu Wisdom—the all-encompassing awareness embodied by Vairocana Buddha.

• Multi-layer gold powder detailing
