Product Overview
This Zhao Gongming & Lotus Taoist Thangka Pendant is a rare fusion of wealth symbolism and spiritual cultivation, meticulously hand-painted on both sides with 18K gold and housed in a finely crafted Gawu-style amulet box.
Created by skilled artists from Rebgong (Regong), this piece goes beyond a simple wealth talisman. It represents a deeper Taoist ideal:
prosperity guided by integrity, and wealth balanced by inner clarity.
Zhao Gongming – The Martial God of Wealth
Zhao Gongming is one of the most revered Martial Gods of Wealth in Taoist tradition.
Traditionally depicted with:
he symbolizes authority, fairness, and the protection of rightful wealth.
In Taoist belief:
-
He governs wealth circulation and commercial justice
-
Protects prosperity from negative forces
-
Rewards those with virtue, responsibility, and moral integrity
Legends say that only those with sufficient merit and character are able to truly encounter his spiritual presence.
The Lotus – Purity Within the World
The lotus, long revered in Taoist and East Asian philosophy, represents:
-
Purity without withdrawal – rising unstained from muddy waters
-
Inner cultivation amid worldly life
-
The harmony of yin and yang, reflected in its leaves and blossoms
Beyond symbolism, the lotus embodies the Taoist principle of “Dao follows nature”, where spiritual meaning and everyday life are inseparable.
A Balanced Union: Wealth with a Clear Heart
By combining Zhao Gongming and the Lotus, this Thangka expresses a uniquely Taoist aspiration:
“May wealth increase, while the heart remains pure.”
It is not merely about acquiring riches, but about:
-
Earning wealth with fairness
-
Protecting prosperity with integrity
-
Maintaining clarity and compassion while engaging the material world
This balance makes the piece especially meaningful for entrepreneurs, investors, and spiritual practitioners alike.
