Product Description

Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) Hand-Painted Mini Thangka Pendant
First Collector Series – Entry Hand-Painted Thangka

① Product Overview

This Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) Mini Thangka Pendant is a Nepal-crafted, hand-painted devotional artwork created as part of our First Collector Series, designed for those beginning their journey with authentic Himalayan Buddhist art.

The image is fully hand-painted in a traditional miniature thangka format using natural mineral pigments, then presented in a gold-tone titanium steel pendant case suitable for daily wear or personal shrine use.

Despite its compact size, the piece emphasizes clear iconography, balanced composition, and refined line detailing, preserving the artistic discipline of classical thangka painting in a wearable form.

② Deity Introduction

Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) is one of the most widely revered bodhisattvas in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, traditionally regarded as the embodiment of compassion.

In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Chenrezig holds a central place in devotional practice and cultural continuity. His iconography symbolizes compassion expressed through calm presence, balanced posture, and mindful engagement with the world, rather than dramatic or forceful imagery.

③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic

This image is traditionally associated with compassion practice, supporting the cultivation of kindness, patience, and emotional stability in daily life.

In many Buddhist lineages, Chenrezig practice emphasizes sincere motivation, ethical grounding, and steady repetition, rather than immediate outcomes or promises. A well-known cultural expression connected to Chenrezig is the six-syllable mantra
“Om Mani Padme Hum”, often recited as a reminder of compassionate awareness and mindful conduct.

④ Combined Practice Logic

This is a single-deity, single-sided pendant, focusing exclusively on the complete symbolic system of Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara.
No combined or paired practice imagery applies.

⑤ Artistic Origin & Lineage

This pendant belongs to the Nepal Color Thangka Series, reflecting Himalayan miniature thangka aesthetics characterized by refined linework, balanced color layering, and proportion-focused composition.

Each piece is individually hand-painted, created as an artwork rather than a factory print, and follows the visual discipline traditionally expected in thangka drawing.
