Carry your personal guardian with you every day. This pendant houses a tiny, hand-painted Buddha thangka—each one depicting the deity who protects your Chinese zodiac sign—framed in a solid brass gawu (shrine) box. Measuring 47 mm × 67 mm and weighing 40 g, it has a reassuring heft without feeling bulky. On the back, the six-syllable mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum” is delicately engraved into the brass.
It hangs from an adjustable natural cotton-cord chain (up to a 71 cm circumference), accented with Tibetan-silver beads and sliding knots for a perfect fit. Wear it close to your heart to invite protection, wisdom, and peace wherever life takes you.
Cultural Notes
The Gawu Box
A gawu (or gau) is a portable shrine used in Tibetan Buddhism to carry sacred images—mantras, relics, or tiny thangkas—so that blessings travel with you. Crafted in brass, it symbolizes the unbreakable protection of the Dharma and the wearer’s spiritual commitment.
Zodiac Guardian Deities
Tibetan Buddhism pairs each of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs with one of eight major guardian deities, each embodying special qualities and blessings:
-
Rat: Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara (compassion, mercy)
-
Ox & Tiger: Akasagarbha Bodhisattva (wisdom, insight)
-
Rabbit: Manjushri Bodhisattva (learning, clarity)
-
Dragon & Snake: Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (vows, virtuous action)
-
Horse: Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva (spiritual power, illumination)
-
Sheep & Monkey: Vairocana Buddha (cosmic truth, purification)
-
Rooster: Acala, the Immovable Wisdom King (steadfastness, protection)
-
Dog & Pig: Amitabha Buddha (infinite light, rebirth in the Pure Land)
Wearing your Zodiac Guardian Thangka keeps its compassionate energy and guidance close, reminding you of your unique strengths and the path to inner harmony.
QiLing Aura, derived from the Chinese transliteration of “啟靈” (Enlighten the Soul) or “麒麟” (Qi Lin), meaning to enlighten the soul, explores the rich tapestry of traditional Chinese culture to offer a unique line of Thangka jewelry and natural handmade incense sticks steeped in heritage.
