① Product Overview

This Yamantaka Thangka Pendant is a finely crafted miniature thangka presented in a double-sided black-gold copper gawu frame. Fully hand-painted with traditional mineral pigments, the artwork follows the Rebgong (Amdo) painting tradition and reflects the refined discipline of Tibetan Buddhist thangka craftsmanship.

Created as a portable sacred artwork, this piece combines thangka painting with gawu pendant form, making it suitable for personal shrines, travel use, or mindful daily carry while preserving artistic and cultural integrity.

② Deity Introduction

Yamantaka, also known as Vajrabhairava, is a principal wrathful deity in Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism and is regarded as the fierce manifestation of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom. Within the Gelug tradition, Yamantaka is one of the most important Highest Yoga Tantra deities.

Symbolically, Yamantaka represents the transformation of ignorance and fear into wisdom and clarity. His wrathful appearance expresses compassion through powerful protection and the subjugation of obstacles on the path of practice.

③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic

Yamantaka is traditionally associated with overcoming inner and outer obstacles, particularly those arising from fear, confusion, and attachment. His imagery emphasizes disciplined practice, ethical intention, and reliance on proper lineage transmission.

Rather than promising outcomes, devotion to Yamantaka is understood as supporting one’s commitment to wisdom cultivation, mental clarity, and the gradual purification of afflictive tendencies through sustained practice.

④ Artistic Origin & Lineage
