Green Tara with Rotating Vajra-Cross Silver: Turn of Fortune and Relief from Suffering

Green Tara with Rotating Vajra-Cross Silver: Turn of Fortune and Relief from Suffering
Green Tara (绿度母) is the emanation of Avalokiteshvara's tear and the leader of the twenty-one Taras—relieving suffering, increasing wisdom and merit, and fulfilling wishes. This 3.5x4.5cm Rekong pendant is set in 925 silver with an exclusive design: the reverse bears a rotating vajra cross (十字金刚杵可旋转), symbolising "turn of fortune" (时来运转). Hand-painted with natural mineral pigments (lapis lazuli, turquoise, malachite, coral, agate and gold), gift box, certificate and hand-woven cord included; inheritable and collectible.

Why the Rotating Vajra-Cross Reverse
The rotating vajra cross on the reverse is a patented design that invites the idea of "turn of fortune" (时来运转)—a favourable change in circumstances. For Green Tara, whose blessing includes relief from suffering and the fulfilment of wishes, the movable element adds a layer of interactive symbolism. The Rekong tradition brings mineral pigments and careful brushwork to the 3.5x4.5cm format, while the 925 silver casing and rotating vajra make this piece distinctive among Tara pendants.

Rekong Craft and Turn of Fortune
Rekong lama artists painted this image with natural mineral pigments that remain stable for generations. The 925 silver casing protects the painting and, with the rotating vajra-cross reverse, offers a unique link to the idea of a turn of fortune. Together with the gift box, certificate and hand-woven cord, it is inheritable and collectible—a portable support for those who connect with Green Tara and seek relief from suffering and a favourable turn of fate.

Who Chooses the Green Tara Rotating-Vajra Pendant
This piece suits practitioners who connect with Green Tara and seek relief from suffering and a turn of fortune, collectors who value Rekong hand-painted Thangka with the rotating vajra silver design, and anyone seeking a wearable support for wisdom and the fulfilment of wishes. It is a meaningful gift for oneself or for others who appreciate Tibetan Buddhist art and the symbolism of the rotating vajra (时来运转).
