The Lord of the Western Pure Land: Tibet Bold Amitabha Thangka Pendant with Copper Casing
Amitabha (阿弥陀佛) is one of the three Buddhas of the three realms (横三世佛之一) and the lord of the Western Pure Land (主管西方极乐世界). He is said to eliminate karmic obstructions (消除业障), free oneself from the various troubles of life (摆脱生活中各种烦恼), and enrich the mind (丰盈思想). In Chinese Buddhist tradition, he is honoured as the Guardian Buddha for those born in the year of the Dog and the Pig (生肖狗猪的守护神). 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 peace and the welcoming to the Pure Land.
Tibet Bold Hand-Painted Thangka and the Lord of the Western Pure Land 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 Amitabha pendant is painted with care, so that the image carries the symbolism of the lord of the Western Pure Land and the elimination of karmic obstructions. 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 Amitabha and seek his blessing for peace, the freeing from troubles and the enrichment of the mind.
The Lord of the Western Pure Land in the Palm Wearing this pendant is an invitation to carry Amitabha's blessing with you: eliminate karmic obstructions, free oneself from the various troubles of life, and enrich the mind (消除业障·摆脱生活中各种烦恼·丰盈思想). In Chinese Buddhist tradition, Amitabha is revered as the lord of the Western Pure Land and the Guardian Buddha for those born in the year of the Dog and the Pig. For practitioners and for those who value Tibet hand-painted Thangka art, this pendant offers a tangible link to a deity associated with peace and the welcoming to the Pure Land. The concept of eliminating karmic obstructions speaks to his role as a liberator from suffering.
