Product Overview
This Vairocana Buddha Mini Thangka Pendant features a single-sided, purely hand-painted Tibetan miniature thangka on the front, housed in an ornate gold-plated copper Gawu box.
The front presents Vairocana Buddha painted according to classical thangka principles, while the back is finished with an embossed metal Dharma Wheel–inspired ritual relief, not a painting. This structure reflects an authentic and traditional Gawu design, favored for its durability, ritual correctness, and suitability for long-term wear.
Created as a portable sacred image, this piece is intended for meditation, travel, personal devotion, or altar placement—not as ordinary jewelry, but as a meaningful spiritual object.
Each pendant is individually hand-painted, making every piece unique.
Vairocana Buddha – Light, Wisdom & Universal Compassion
Vairocana Buddha, revered as the Great Sun Buddha, symbolizes supreme wisdom, universal truth, and all-pervading light.

-
The ultimate nature of reality
-
Primordial wisdom beyond duality
-
Compassionate clarity and inner stability
Traditionally, devotion to Vairocana Buddha is associated with dispelling ignorance, calming inner confusion, and cultivating insight and courage to move forward with clarity.
