① Product Overview
This Vairocana Buddha (Mahāvairocana) Thangka Pendant is a high-quality Tibetan Buddhist artwork from the Rebgong Cloud-Background Series, presented in a compact pendant format. The thangka is fully hand-painted using traditional mineral pigments and housed in a double-sided 925 silver pendant frame.
Created in the Rebgong (Amdo) artistic tradition, this piece reflects classical Tibetan Buddhist iconography adapted into a portable form, suitable for close viewing, personal contemplation, and collection.
② Deity Introduction
Vairocana Buddha, also known as Mahāvairocana, is regarded in Esoteric Buddhism as the central and fundamental Buddha, representing the ultimate nature of reality and universal wisdom. He is the principal deity of both the Womb Realm Mandala and the Diamond Realm Mandala, forming the core of Vajrayana cosmology.
Traditionally, Vairocana symbolizes wisdom, clarity, and illumination, embodying the integration of truth, awareness, and cosmic order within Buddhist philosophy.
③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic
Vairocana Buddha is traditionally associated with the realization of inner clarity and awareness through disciplined practice and correct understanding. In Buddhist teachings, his presence emphasizes the importance of intention, ethical foundation, and sustained cultivation rather than immediate outcomes.
The imagery serves as a contemplative support, encouraging practitioners to reflect on wisdom, balance, and the nature of reality within their own practice.
④ Combined Practice Logic
This pendant presents a single-deity composition, focusing entirely on the presence of Vairocana Buddha. The double-sided structure serves a structural and artistic purpose, offering visual completeness and balance rather than combining multiple deities.
Such a format reinforces unity and coherence, aligning form and meaning without symbolic conflict.
⑤ Artistic Origin & Lineage
This artwork originates from the Rebgong region (Amdo, Tibet), a historically significant center of Tibetan Buddhist art. Rebgong thangka painting is known for its refined line work, balanced proportions, and expressive cloud-background compositions.
Each piece is entirely hand-painted, following traditional methods passed down through master-apprentice lineages, emphasizing craftsmanship over mass production.
