The Buddha of Cosmic Illumination: Tibet Bold Vairocana Thangka Pendant with Copper Casing
Vairocana (大日如来) is the Dharmakaya of all Buddhas, the true nature-body of the Buddha (毗卢遮那佛是一切佛的法身也就是佛的自性真身). He is the symbol of light and wisdom (光明理智的象征). He connects the vital energy of heaven and earth (通天地之灵气), draws the essence of all things (取万物之精华), wards off evil and demons (除妖辟邪), and advances courageously (勇往直前). He is said to bring the help of noble persons (得贵人相助), great expansion of plans (鸿图大展), and the accomplishment of all endeavours (成就一切事业). In Chinese Buddhist tradition, he is honoured as the Guardian Buddha for those born in the year of the Goat and the Monkey (也是生肖羊猴的守护神). Today we look at a 3.5cm pendant from the Tibet Bold series—hand-painted by Tibet master artists (西藏名师用金粉朱砂雄黄青金石等天然矿物颜料纯手绘), three-dimensional and sublime Buddha imagery (佛造像立体殊胜), refined copper casing (精致铜壳), inheritable and collectible (可传承 可收藏)—a compact support for wisdom and the accomplishment of endeavours.
Tibet Bold Hand-Painted Thangka and the Buddha of Cosmic Illumination The Tibet Bold series (藏卡粗矿系列) is known for its hand-painted Thangka by Tibet master artists with gold pigment, cinnabar, orpiment, lapis lazuli and other natural mineral pigments (西藏名师用金粉朱砂雄黄青金石等天然矿物颜料纯手绘), with three-dimensional and sublime Buddha imagery (佛造像立体殊胜). Each Vairocana pendant is painted with care, so that the image carries the symbolism of the Dharmakaya of all Buddhas and the symbol of light and wisdom. The refined copper casing (精致铜壳) keeps the sacred image protected and ready for wear. The 3.5cm format makes it a dignified, lasting support for those who honour Vairocana and seek his blessing for wisdom, the help of noble persons and the accomplishment of all endeavours.
The Buddha of Cosmic Illumination in the Palm Wearing this pendant is an invitation to carry Vairocana's blessing with you: connect heaven and earth, draw the essence of all things, ward off evil, advance courageously, and accomplish all endeavours (通天地之灵气·取万物之精华·除妖辟邪·勇往直前·成就一切事业).
