The Chief of the Five Wisdom Kings: Acala and the Rekong Thangka in 925 Silver
Acala (不动明王) is the embodiment of the will of all Buddhas (诸佛意的化身) and the chief of the Five Wisdom Kings (五大明王之首). He awakens beings so that they become self-disciplined and resilient (喝醒众生，使自律坚韧), realises one's wisdom and potential (发挥自身智慧潜力), removes obstacles (扫除障碍), causes evil spirits that disturb beings to fear and retreat (使侵扰众生之邪魔畏惧而远离), helps one seize life opportunities (抓住人生机遇), and brings family happiness and a smooth life (家庭幸福美满，一生顺遂). He is also the guardian deity of those born in the Year of the Rooster (亦是生肖鸡的守护神). Today we look at a 3.5x4.5cm Thangka pendant from the Rekong series (热贡系列) with 925 silver—painted by Rekong lama artists (喇嘛画师绘画), natural mineral pigments, colour stable for a hundred years (采用天然矿物百年不变色), with certificate gift box and braided cord (礼盒 证书 精美手工编织绳), inheritable and collectible (可传承 可收藏)—a compact support for protection and success.
Rekong and 925 Silver The Rekong series (热贡系列) is painted by Rekong lama artists (喇嘛画师绘画) from Rekong (热贡). Each Acala pendant is painted with care, so that the image carries the symbolism of the embodiment of the will of all Buddhas and the chief of the Five Wisdom Kings (诸佛意的化身，五大明王之首). Natural mineral pigments are used (采用天然矿物颜料), ensuring that the colours remain stable for a hundred years (百年不变色). The piece is "inheritable and collectible" (可传承, 可收藏). The 925 silver casing with certificate gift box and braided cord (礼盒 证书 精美手工编织绳) keeps the sacred image protected and ready for wear. The 3.5x4.5cm format makes it a dignified yet wearable support for those who seek the removal of obstacles and family happiness (不动明王，扫除障碍，家庭幸福美满一生顺遂).
The Wisdom King of Protection in the Palm Wearing this pendant is an invitation to carry Acala's blessing with you: awakening to self-discipline and fortitude, realising wisdom and potential, removing obstacles, warding off evil spirits, seizing life opportunities, and family happiness and a smooth life (喝醒众生使自律坚韧，发挥智慧潜力，扫除障碍，邪魔远离，抓住人生机遇，家庭幸福美满一生顺遂). In East Asian Buddhist tradition, Acala is revered as the chief of the Five Wisdom Kings. Those born in the Year of the Rooster (鸡) often honour him as their guardian.
