Product Overview
This double-sided Tibetan Ghau Thangka pendant features Zaki Lham – “Past & Present Life” on the front and Avalokiteshvara (Guanyin Bodhisattva) on the back.
Both sides are entirely hand-painted with 18K gold by artists from the Rebgong (Regong) tradition, using traditional mineral pigments and refined line work.
By bringing together a revered Tibetan protector figure and the embodiment of compassion in Mahayana Buddhism, this pendant represents a harmonious balance between material stability, protection, and inner compassion. It is suitable for daily wear, personal practice, or as a meaningful spiritual gift.
Zaki Lham – “Past & Present Life”
Zaki Lham is widely respected in Tibetan culture as a female protector figure often associated with material stability, resilience, and transformation.
The theme of “Past & Present Life” symbolizes:
-
Renewal beyond past circumstances
-
Confidence during periods of uncertainty
-
Openness to opportunity arising from unexpected directions
Rather than a promise of instant wealth, Zaki Lham serves as a symbol of grounded strength, perseverance, and practical awareness in daily life.
Avalokiteshvara (Guanyin Bodhisattva) – Compassion & Listening Awareness
Avalokiteshvara, known in East Asia as Guanyin Bodhisattva, is revered as the embodiment of great compassion.
Her name means “The One Who Perceives the Cries of the World”, reflecting the belief that compassion responds directly to suffering.
In Buddhist tradition, Avalokiteshvara represents:
-
Compassion and emotional balance
-
Calm presence during difficulty
-
Wisdom expressed through empathy
She is also traditionally regarded as a guardian figure associated with the Chinese Zodiac Rat and the Western zodiac signs Cancer and Capricorn, making this image especially meaningful for those born under these signs.
The Meaning of This Dual-Sided Pairing
When Zaki Lham and Avalokiteshvara are combined in one pendant:
-
Zaki Lham represents protection and stability in the material world
-
Avalokiteshvara represents compassion, clarity, and inner peace
Together, they form a balanced spiritual composition that reflects both practical grounding and compassionate awareness. This pairing is often chosen by individuals who value success without imbalance, and growth without anxiety.
