Product Overview
This 18K gold, double-sided, fully hand-painted Tibetan mini thangka pendant features White Tara (Sitatārā) on the front and a Lotus flower on the reverse.
White Tara is one of the Three Long Life Deities in Tibetan Buddhism and a compassionate manifestation of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig). Revered for her association with longevity, wisdom, and attentive compassion, she is widely practiced for sustaining clarity of mind and the conditions for spiritual cultivation.
Hand-painted in the Rebgong (Regong / Amdo) thangka tradition and enclosed in an 18K gold gau box with sapphire crystal lens, this piece is designed for devotional focus, meditation, or refined daily wear.
Front Image: White Tara (Sitatārā)
White Tara, known in Tibetan as Drolma Karpo, is one of the Twenty-One Taras and among the most revered female deities in Tibetan Buddhism.
Iconography & Meaning
In this thangka, White Tara is depicted according to classical Tibetan canon:
-
Seven Eyes: One on each hand, foot, and her forehead, symbolizing her ability to perceive the suffering of all beings with unwavering awareness
-
Body Color: Pure white, representing clarity, purity, and peaceful wisdom
-
Posture: Seated in a relaxed lotus posture, expressing readiness to respond with compassion
-
Expression: Calm and luminous, embodying benevolence and insight
In Buddhist understanding, White Tara’s association with longevity refers to the preservation of life force, mental clarity, and the opportunity for continued practice, rather than physical immortality.
Reverse Image: Lotus Flower
The reverse side features the Lotus flower, one of the most profound and universal symbols in Buddhist art.
Symbolism of the Lotus
In Buddhist tradition, the lotus represents:
-
Purity arising from worldly conditions – blooming unstained from muddy waters
-
Awakening and enlightenment, emerging from ignorance and attachment
-
Bodhicitta, the awakened heart and aspiration to benefit all beings
-
Unity of cause and result, reminding practitioners that cultivation and realization arise together
Different lotus colors carry additional meaning:
-
White lotus: Buddha-nature and spiritual purity
-
Red lotus: Compassion and loving-kindness
-
Blue lotus: Transcendent wisdom, often associated with Manjushri
The lotus appears throughout Buddhist art and scripture, from lotus thrones and temple motifs to hand gestures such as the lotus mudra, and is a central image in texts such as the Lotus Sutra and the Avatamsaka Sutra.
Meaning of the Double-Sided Design
Together, the two sides form a harmonious symbolic pairing:
-
White Tara (Front): compassion, longevity, attentive awareness
-
Lotus (Back): purity, awakening, liberation from affliction
This composition is traditionally appreciated by those seeking inner calm, sustained clarity, and a reminder of spiritual aspiration in daily life.
