The Place Where Buddhas and Bodhisattvas Teach Dharma: Rekong Yamantaka Mandala Thangka Pendant with Copper Tube Braided Cord
The mandala is the place where Buddhas and Bodhisattvas teach Dharma (坛城是佛菩萨讲法的地方), with very great merit energy (功德能量非常大). This is the mandala of Yamantaka, the wrathful form of Manjushri (这是文殊菩萨的忿怒相大威德金刚的坛城). It is said to have the merit of protecting wholesomeness (有护善之功), awaken wisdom (开悟智慧), prevent evil thoughts and deviation in thought and spirit (防止思想精神上邪念和偏差), and keep oneself in a good mental state for a smooth life (让自己处在一个好的精神状态一生顺风顺水). Today we look at a 2.5cm pendant from the Rekong series—hand-painted by Rekong artists with mineral pigments (热贡画师矿物颜料纯手绘), copper tube braided cord (铜管编织绳), inheritable and collectible (可传承 可收藏)—a compact support for the mandala's merit energy and the protection of wholesomeness.
Rekong Hand-Painted Thangka and the Yamantaka Mandala The Rekong series (热贡系列) is known for its hand-painted Thangka by Rekong artists with mineral pigments (热贡画师矿物颜料纯手绘). Each Yamantaka Mandala pendant is painted with care, so that the image carries the symbolism of the place where Buddhas and Bodhisattvas teach Dharma and the wrathful form of Manjushri. The copper tube braided cord (铜管编织绳) keeps the sacred mandala ready for wear. The 2.5cm format makes it a dignified, lasting support for those who honour the Yamantaka Mandala and seek its blessing for protecting wholesomeness, awakening wisdom and a smooth life. For those seeking the protection of wholesomeness and the awakening of wisdom, this pendant offers a tangible link to a sacred geometry associated with the highest teachings.
