Product Description
This beautiful Manjushree Ghau Locket is dedicated to the Bodhisattva who embodies the wisdom of all the Buddhas. Manjushree (or Manjushri) is invoked by students, scholars, and spiritual seekers worldwide to sharpen the mind, improve memory, and gain deep insight into the nature of reality.
Enclosed within a traditional, protective metal Ghau casing, this miniature Thangka captures Manjushree in his serene, enlightened form. Wearing this amulet serves as a constant spiritual reminder to cultivate intelligence and act with wise discernment in all areas of life.
Iconography of Enlightenment and Knowledge
The sacred imagery of Manjushree in your locket is specifically designed to transmit blessings of wisdom:
-
Flaming Sword of Wisdom: The deity holds a blazing sword in his right hand, representing the power of transcendent knowledge to effortlessly cut through the thickest veil of ignorance and delusion.
-
Lotus Flower and Sutra: In his left hand, he holds the stem of a lotus supporting a Prajnaparamita Sutra (Book of Transcendent Wisdom). This symbolizes that true wisdom is born of compassion and is fully contained within the teachings of the Dharma.
-
Youthful Appearance: Manjushree is often depicted as youthful, signifying that wisdom is forever fresh, vigorous, and unconstrained by rigid, aging thoughts.
-
Golden/Orange Color: His body often radiates a luminous yellow or orange hue, symbolizing the illuminating, sun-like quality of wisdom that dispels the darkness of ignorance.

CONSECRATION OF PRODUCT
For requests for consecrations/blessings, we can take the thangka to monasteries or Rinpoches from the nearby Boudha Stupa. We kindly ask you to offer $50 for the monasteries for blessings/consecration services.
Natural Colors in Thangka
All the colors used in the thankgas are made from natural minerals. Ground into pigments, they carry the essence of the earth. Unlike artificial colors, these natural tones shine with honesty, adding depth, life, and spiritual meaning to each canvas.
Ghau Locket Thangka
A Ghau Thangka is a hand-painted, miniature Nepalese Buddhist scroll that is housed in an elaborate metal shrine. It is sometimes spelled Gau or Ghau. The living energy of enlightened deities, including Green Tara, Medicine Buddha, Mahakala, and Guru Rinpoche, is carried by this portable altar, which can be worn as a pendant or held near the heart. In contrast to regular jewellery, each Ghau Thangka is consecrated through ancient rabné (blessing) rituals by a qualified lama. The end effect is a talisman that, wherever you go, exudes healing, protection, and spiritual strength.
