The Immovable Wisdom King: Tibet Bold Acala Thangka Pendant with Copper Casing
Acala (不动明王), Sanskrit Acalanatha (梵音为Acalanatha). "Immovable" (不动) means compassion is firm and unshakable (慈悲心坚固，无可撼动); "Wisdom" (明) means the light of wisdom (乃智慧之光明); "King" (王) means the one who masters all phenomena (驾驭一切现象者). Acala is the command wheel body of all Buddhas (不动明王为一切诸佛教令轮身), the king of all vidyārājas (诸明王之王), the chief of the five great vidyārājas (五大明王之主尊), and the wrathful form of Vairocana in Esoteric Buddhism (密教大日如来的忿怒身). With firm self-discipline (坚定自律), when encountering any difficulty, he can sweep away all obstacles (均能扫除障难), cause the evil spirits that disturb sentient beings to fear and retreat (使侵扰众生之邪魔畏惧而远离), and prevent sentient beings from wavering in the bodhi mind of wholesome thought on the path of practice (使众生于修行路上不致动摇善念菩提心). 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 protection and the removal of obstacles.
Tibet Bold Hand-Painted Thangka and the Immovable Wisdom King 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 Acala pendant is painted with care, so that the image carries the symbolism of the command wheel body of all Buddhas and the king of all vidyārājas. 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 Acala and seek his blessing for the sweeping away of obstacles and the subduing of evil spirits.
