Product Overview
This double-sided Thangka pendant features a serene Buddha Head depiction of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva (Dizang Wang Pusa) on the front, paired with traditional symbolic elements on the reverse.
Fully hand-painted on both sides using genuine 18K gold, the pendant is created in the Rebgong (Amdo / Regong) art tradition and encased in a refined Gau (Ghau) amulet box. The Buddha Head representation emphasizes calm presence, inner protection, and unwavering compassion, making this piece especially suitable for everyday wear and contemplative appreciation.
Rather than emphasizing dramatic narrative, this artwork focuses on stillness, resolve, and quiet guardianship.
Front: Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva Buddha Head
The front side presents a Buddha Head portrayal of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva, highlighting:
-
Tranquility and emotional stability
-
Inner strength grounded in compassion
-
Silent vigilance rather than active intervention
In Buddhist art, Buddha Head imagery is often used to represent awakening awareness, clarity of mind, and steady moral orientation, without reliance on external ritual action.
This depiction invites reflection on inner responsibility and calm perseverance, core qualities associated with Kṣitigarbha’s great vow.
Back: Symbolic Elements & Meaning
The reverse side continues the symbolic narrative associated with Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva, referencing his boundless compassion and guidance through traditional iconographic language.
These symbols are intended to support contemplative reflection and cultural appreciation, rather than literal interpretation.
Symbolic Focus: Quiet Protection & Inner Stability
Compared with full-figure representations, a Buddha Head Thangka places emphasis on:
-
Inner peace rather than external action
-
Mental clarity over ritual force
-
Ethical awareness instead of outcome-driven expectations
This makes the pendant particularly suitable for those seeking emotional grounding, steady focus, and a sense of quiet protection in daily life.
