Vairocana Buddha (Great Sun Buddha) Double-Sided Mini Thangka Pendant Hand-Painted on Both Sides • Gold-Plated Copper Gawu Box • Four-Direction Mandala Back • 55 × 45 mm

Product Overview

This Vairocana Buddha Double-Sided Mini Thangka Pendant is a fully hand-painted Tibetan miniature thangka on both the front and the back, housed in an ornate gold-plated copper Gawu box.

The front depicts Vairocana Buddha in classical thangka form, while the back features a meticulously hand-painted Four-Direction Mandala, representing the cosmic order of Vajrayana Buddhism. This double-sided painting format is considered highly refined and collectible, requiring greater artistic skill and longer production time.

Designed as a portable sacred image, this piece serves spiritual practice, meditation, travel, and personal devotion. It is not decorative jewelry, but a ritual artwork with deep symbolic structure.

Each pendant is individually hand-painted, making every piece one of a kind.

Vairocana Buddha – Supreme Light & Universal Wisdom

Vairocana Buddha, known as the Great Sun Buddha, symbolizes supreme wisdom, universal truth, and all-pervading light.

As the central and highest Buddha of Esoteric Buddhism and the head of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, Vairocana represents:

• The ultimate nature of reality

• Primordial wisdom beyond duality

• Compassionate clarity that embraces all beings

Traditionally, devotion to Vairocana Buddha is associated with dispelling ignorance, calming inner confusion, and cultivating insight, courage, and steady progress.

Zodiac & Horoscope Guardianship

This pendant is traditionally regarded as a personal guardian Buddha, especially aligned with:

• Chinese Zodiac: Goat (Sheep), Monkey

• Western Zodiac: Leo, Aquarius

Often chosen by individuals seeking wisdom-based guidance, clarity of mind, and spiritual grounding during important life stages.
