Vajrakilaya (Dorje Phurba) Mini Thangka Pendant Hand-Painted • Mineral Pigments • Rebgong Tibetan Lineage • 4 × 5 cm

① Product Overview

This Vajrakilaya (Dorje Phurba) Mini Thangka Pendant is a high-grade Tibetan Buddhist art piece, crafted as a portable thangka pendant and presented in a pure silver protective case inspired by the Dunhuang Nine-Colored Deer motif. The painting is fully hand-painted by a lama artist using traditional natural mineral pigments, following the orthodox standards of the Rebgong (Amdo Tibetan) artistic lineage.

Created as part of the Rebgong Thangka Series, this work reflects the region’s emphasis on precise iconography, dense composition, and long-lasting mineral pigmentation. It is crafted and presented as a cultural, artistic, and devotional object rather than a factory-produced accessory.

② Deity Introduction

Vajrakilaya (Sanskrit: Vajra-kīlaya), also known as Dorje Phurba, is a wrathful vajra deity within Tibetan Buddhism and is widely regarded as a manifestation connected to Vajrasattva in wrathful form. He is honored as a powerful tantric protector and a key yidam within Vajrayana lineages.

In Buddhist symbolism, Vajrakilaya represents awakened wisdom, compassion, and protective awareness, expressed through a fierce form that signifies the cutting through of ignorance and fixation.

③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic

Vajrakilaya is traditionally associated with practices focused on removing inner obstacles by transforming attachment, fear, and rigid self-identification. His symbolism emphasizes the union of emptiness and wisdom, pointing practitioners back to the nature of mind through disciplined intention and proper transmission.

Rather than promising outcomes, this practice framework highlights motivation, inner clarity, and sustained contemplative training rooted in Vajrayana principles.
